Objective:  I can participate effectively in a large group to investigate evidence and determine categories for that evidence; we will follow the directions and be prepared to share our findings (SL11-12.1). 
Agenda:  

• Entry Task:  Sit at a poster in groups of 7-10 depending on class size; do not open the envelope.  
  • While you wait for other students, begin to read the new Multiple Choice Entry Task set.  We will begin with #1 on Monday.  
• In each group, each student should select one picture and one reading.  Take about 5-10 min. to look at/read and hypothesize about what you are looking at in your notebook.  If you finish early, and there are other pieces left, take them and do the same.
  • After reading time, share out in your group what you think you have.
  • As a group, create categories for the pieces you have and attach them to the poster provided.  Label the categories you create. Hang your poster when you are done.  
  • When all groups are finished, as a class, point out our categories and discuss what we have.   
• By the end of the period, select which book you will read next.  

Exit Task:  Write down selection and how/where you will get it as well as when you need to read 1/2 of the book by and what from today's activity helped you select this option.  Get your reading comprehension questions.
