Close Reading Modeling Method (ISBE) & Close Reading Exemplars (Student Achievement Partners)
Intended Audience:
Teachers, Administrators, District and School Leaders
Description:
This Close Reading Modeling Method workshop was facilitated by ISBE during the summer of 2012. This workshop consists of a PowerPoint presentation as well as handout materials that were retrieved from the Common Core Appendix B. The workshop is designed to provide participants with not only a model of Close Reading as it is described by Doug Fisher, Nancy Frey and Diane Lapp, but to provide participants with the opportunity for a more in depth application of Close Reading. Teachers will be able to apply the information presented in this workshop to other texts at all grade levels. The Close Reading exemplars were developed by Student Achievement Partners. They demonstrate how lessons can be adapted to place emphasis on close reading in the daily classroom.
