Activity 5a: Writing ClaimsActivity 5a: Viewing a Video and Having a “Written Conversation”
1. View the video and take notes in your Notepad for these questions: How does the teacher prepare students to create a claim from multiple sources? How does she provide specific feedback? How is collaboration used to push students’ thinking? How does the Odell Claim Template help to support students?
2. Identify a partner for a “Written Conversation.”3. Write simultaneous communications to one another about the video. 4. At the facilitator’s signal, trade notes. This is done in silence. 5. When the facilitator gives the signal, you can talk out loud with your partner. 6. Be prepared to volunteer a thread of your conversation.Video: Developing a Claim Using Two Informational Texts. http://www.engageny.org/resource/common-core-instruction-developing-a-claim-using-two-informational-texts
