A Close Look at Close Reading by Barbara Moss,Diane Lapp,Maria Grant,Kelly Johnson Pdf

The Common Core State Standards have put close reading in the spotlight as never before. While middle and high school teachers want and need students to connect with, analyze, and learn from both literary and informational texts, many are unsure how to foster the skills students must have in order to develop deep and nuanced understanding of complicated content. Is there a process to follow? How is close reading different from shared reading and other common literacy practices? How do you prepare students to have their ability to analyze complex texts measured by high-stakes assessments? And how do you fit close reading instruction and experiences into an already crowded curriculum? Literacy experts Barbara Moss, Diane Lapp, Maria Grant, and Kelly Johnson answer these questions and more as they explain how to teach middle and high school students to be close readers, how to make close reading a habit of practice across the content areas, and why doing so will build content knowledge. Informed by the authors’ extensive field experience and enriched by dozens of real-life scenarios and downloadable tools and templates, this book explores • Text complexity and how to determine if a particular text is right for your learning purposes and your students. • The process and purpose of close reading, with an emphasis on its role in developing the 21st century thinking, speaking, and writing skills essential for academic communication and college and career readiness. • How to plan, teach, and manage close reading sessions across the academic disciplines, including the kinds of questions to ask, texts to use, and supports to provide. • How to assess close reading and help all students—regardless of linguistic, cultural, or academic background—connect deeply with what they read and derive meaning from complex texts. Equipping students with the tools and process of close reading sets them on the road to becoming analytical and critical thinkers—and empowered and independent learners. In this comprehensive resource, you’ll find everything you need to start their journey.

A Close Look At Close Reading by Diane Lapp,Barbara Moss,Maria Grant,Kelly Johnson Pdf

The Common Core State Standards have put close reading in the spotlight as never before. While elementary school teachers are certainly willing to teach students to closely read both literary and informational text, many are wondering what, exactly, this involves. Is there a process to follow? How is close reading different from guided reading or other common literacy practices? How do you prepare students to have their ability to analyze complex texts measured by Common Core assessments? Is it even possible for students in grades K–5 to “read to learn” when they’re only just learning to read? Literacy experts Diane Lapp, Barbara Moss, Maria Grant, and Kelly Johnson answer these questions and more as they explain how to teach young learners to be close readers and how to make close reading a habit of practice in the elementary classroom. Informed by the authors’ extensive field experience and enriched by dozens of real-life scenarios and downloadable tools and templates, this book explores *Text complexity and how to determine if a particular text is a right for your learning purposes and your students. * The process and purpose of close reading in the elementary grades, with an emphasis on its role in developing the 21st century thinking, speaking, and writing skills essential for academic communication and required by the Common Core. * How to plan, teach, and manage close reading sessions across the academic disciplines, including the kinds of questions to ask and the kinds of support to provide. * How to assess close reading and help all students—regardless of linguistic, cultural, or academic background—connect deeply with what they read and derive meaning from a complex text. Equipping students with the tools and process of close reading sets them on the road to becoming analytical and critical thinkers—and empowered and independent learners. In this comprehensive resource, you’ll find everything you need to start their journey.

North to Prosperity by Ollie T. Moye Pdf

North To Prosperity A Lake Murray Murder Mystery Author Ollie T. Moye uses the osprey as symbol of the many levels of predation in the game of crime & punishment Matt Toliver, a real estate agent falls in love with lovely Krystal Love Loftis, a ravishing beauty and married housewife seeking a prospective family home in an upscale development on Lake Murray’s shoreline. Toliver shows her a lake view of the property that interested her. As passion between them heats up to the boiling point, a bizarre and hideous turn of events start the slow unstoppable spiral into tension, violence, and tautly-drawn drama in Ollie T. Moye’s North To Prosperity. This moving novel of tragic consequences resulting from a rash romance is peopled with predator and prey, hunters moving with nature that is ultimately a dance of violence and death. Near the novel’s beginning, Toliver shows Krystal an osprey nest, and demonstrates how the sea eagle is the apex of the lake who will move north to Prosperity according to an internal compass. The direction that Toliver’s life takes after the first engagement in accidental crime becomes the brutally fundamental drive for survival in the lakes’ environs. Krystal and Toliver are discovered by a professional bass fisherman while making love. He breaks in on them and Toliver kills him. Krystal goes berserk and Toliver has no choice but to kill her. The first murder victim goes down into 150 feet of lake water; Krystal is buried in an abandoned house’s well by Toliver. The novel is a fast-paced and thrillingly long-drawn engagement in the choices made by the many levels of predation involved in the game of crime and punishment. The author is a retired journalist, having been a sports editor, editor and publisher, and also is past president of the South Carolina Press Assn.
