Essential Question: What did you learn about Bud in chapter 1? 

Chapter 1 gives the reader a lot of information about Bud. The chapter is divided between things that are happening in Bud's life at the current moment, and about what has happened to Bud in the past. On the first web, list details about Bud's current(present) life. On the second web, list details about Bud's past.

Directions for part 1: You do - (8 min)

Mix & Mingle (Also Know as Give One to Get One)

• Get up out of your seat and find a partner to share your homework responses with.
• Give your partner 1 of the answers on your graphic organizer.
• Get one answer from your partner. 
• You may fill in empty boxes, change answers, or add to the answers you already have.
• When the whistle blows find a new partner
• Repeat the process of Giving one response, and getting one response. 
• Bring your book with you to support your thinking. You must be able to support your your thinking with evidence from the text!!!

Part 2: 5 Min - (We do)

We will share a few responses as a whole group.

• I will be collecting your graphic organizers and taking them as a classwork/homework grade using our 4 point scale.

Activity #2
The Great Depression

Bud, Not Buddy takes place during the Great Depression. To understand Bud's story we have to understand how the Great Depression affected the people of that time period.

So first...the Story about Grandpa Borello (I do)
What was the main idea of my story?

• RI6.1 Cite textual evidence to support what the text says as well as inferences made from the text
• RI6.2 Determine the main idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details

Now it's your turn...

Your task: Read to Identify the Main Idea
30 - 35 min (You do)

Step 1: With your team, Read the article titled, "The Great Depression"

Step 2: Use the highlighting strategy for informational articles we learned yesterday.

Topic = Yellow

Topic Sentence = Pink

Supporting Details = Orange
Main Idea = Blue (Remember - write the main idea after you have highlighted in a thought bubble at the top of your article next to the picture.)

• Highlight the Topic, Yellow. Think "What important word was repeated?" Every Time you see the 'topic' word, highlight it yellow.
• Draw a box around the introduction. 
• Highlight the topic Sentence Pink 
• Highlight the details orange. Number them.
• Write the main idea in a "Thought Bubble" on the top of your article. Remember...the MAIN IDEA might be explicitly stated in the article, or it might not be, and you will have to make an inference based on all the evidence you gathered.

Step 3: Complete multiple choice questions # 1 & 2

Step 4: Pick just 1 of the extended response questions. Answer the extended response question using the I, D, E, C format.
I = _____________________
D = ____________________
E = ____________________
C = ____________________

****Each group will receive 2 lifelines, in the form of a chip. If you get stuck your group may use one of your life lines. Simply raise your hand and redeem one of your chips to get a clue, or a hint from the teacher. 

***You will be handing this in so I can assess you on standard RI6.1 & RI6.2.
***We will go over it as a whole group tomorrow! (We do)

What do you expect from your group members while working?
