Objective:  I can read from the unfamiliar genre I selected for a sustained time and begin to develop an understanding of the traits of the genre.
Agenda:  

• Entry Task:  Get out your selected reading and sit somewhere you are comfortable to read.  Devices need to be put away and set to airplane mode during reading time to avoid distraction.​​
• Check what you need to add to for the Unfamiliar Genre Brochure
  • Character Names (or speaker/audience)
  • Plot points (or poem descriptions)
  • Settings or symbols
• Read and enjoy your selection for a total of 25 minutes
• After reading, review the rubrics for the Anatomy-Of and Writing-In Genre and consider whether or not you are ready to begin the project.  
  • Review our directions for Getting to Theme.  If you are finished with the reading, you should be able to complete this portion.
  • If you are finished with reading, you should also be able to complete your reviews.
• Exit Task:  Our reading time is over.  If you have not finished, consider whether or not you will finish reading on your own.  You can complete the project without having finished the reading, but you may not be able to develop your ideas as thoroughly.  Consider your time and desire to complete the reading fully.
