Close(er) Reading: Resources and Ideas for Moving Forward--Part 2

To continue with ideas to further support close reading, below are some ideas from a webinar I participated in.

A Webinar

I recently participated in a webinar--Close Reading: Teaching the Comprehension Skills of Text Analysis and Evaluation.  This webinar was sponsored by ASCD and facilitated by Diane Lapp, Barbara Moss, Maria Grant, and Kelly Johnson.

As I participated, there were many review ideas, some new ideas, and some particularly useful ideas for management and planning.  A handout provided additional support and may be accessed here.

As teachers continue to implement close reading, I think there are some questions as to how to put it all together.  A few of these handouts gave some ideas that might help us think further about what this could look like in our classrooms.  I particularly liked this organizer as it modeled how close reading could be used across the curriculum:

There was also a nice form to collect formative assessment data during close reading.  This connected to yesterday's blog on contingency plans when students struggle with close reading.  I would like to work on an organizer that combines both of these ideas.

That organizer might look like this:

Preplanned Text Dependent Questions	Observations of Students (Who is confused? What are misconceptions?)	Contingency Plan (Re-establish purpose, Analyze questions, Prompt and Cue, Model Thinking, Analyze Annotations)

And finally, a form for planning, teaching, and managing close reading.  

I am looking forward to implementing some of these tools.  What resources do you find most useful when implementing close reading?
