1. Journal
When do you believe you can be fully considered an adult? Explain your thoughts.

2. Vocabulary

• Finish the middle column of the "Key Vocabulary" chart in Google Classroom. 
• I suggest using VisuWords to look up words so you can start to see connections these words have to words you already know. 

3. Matching 

• I will give each table a set of vocabulary words to match with sentences. 
• Your job is to find the word that fits into each blank. 
• We will discuss your results as a class.

4. Survey the Text

• Surveying the text is a process that involves looking at many aspects of a reading before we read it. These aspects can include: 
• Who is the author? Where are they from? What other pieces have they written? 
• When was it published? What was happening in the world at that time? 
• What source was it published in? What kind of audience reads this publication? 
• What proper nouns are included in this text? What might this show about the main topic? 

5. Read the Text 

• You are each getting a copy of Camila Domonoske's article, "Students Have ‘Dismaying’ Inability to Tell Fake News from Real, Study Finds"
• This copy is yours to write on/highlight/mark up in any way you need. 
• Feel free to use any supplies in the table caddy to mark up the text.

6. Vocabulary Context 
Go back to Google Classroom and fill in the third column (quote the text directly where Domonoske uses the word).

7. Dividing the Text

• In preparation for something we will do tomorrow, I'm going to lead you through dividing a text. 
• This will help us to see how an author makes claims using different elements of evidence. 
• We are going to want 8-10 dividing lines, specifically where Domonoske seems to shift her tone or purpose.

Reminders:

• Buy your prom tickets! Prom is February 28th!
• If you checked out a book from the class library (and took it home with you) make sure you use the button to the right on the blog to check it out. You can also use the QR code posted in class near the library.
