Objective:  I can determine two or more central ideas of a review and analyze using supporting evidence to explore how reviews are written (RI11-12.½).
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Take 4-5 minutes to answer the questions from the slideshow.
  • As the class shares out, notes will be taken on the board.  Be sure to add any new thoughts to your own answers in order to think about what you could read, listen to or watch to stretch your cultural imagination?
• From the list on the next slide, select 1-3 that you could experience something new in over break.  
  • Your review is a requirement for class, but it can also be submitted to The New York Times Review contest by Dec. 9th.  Winners are published in the NYT!
• Go to the type of winning student review you are most interested in reading.   
  • Read the example review there 
  • Complete the Reading Reviews with a Critical Eye handout.  
  • Be prepared to share what you notice about the reading with the group and the class.
• Share out
  • Take notes about how to write a review in your notebook
• Exit Task:  In your notebook, write what you would most like to review and how/when you will be able to experience that within the time frame.
