Group Articles
Key Vocabulary
Charting the Text with Your Group 

1. Journal 
What is the strongest personal quality you bring to group projects?

2. Peer Review
I am going to give you each a copy of someone else's rhetorical précis to score. Please consider this rubric as you do so:

3. Your Group's New Article 
Each group is being assigned an article on which they will create a poster with different information:

• Article 1: Jorge, Dalilah, Roland 
• Article 2: Antonio, Hailey, Christian, Vincent
• Article 3: Michelle, Tino, Mallerly
• Article 4: Sam, Gio, Randy
• Article 5: Mia, Hector, Danielle 

As you read the article together for the first time, watch for vocabulary words that might be 

• new 
• unfamiliar
• important

4. Key Vocabulary 

• In Google Classroom, there is a chart with a blank table for key vocabulary in your text.
• Comb through the text together for words you circled that might be new, unfamiliar, or important 
• Look up the definitions of those words using Google or VisuWords and complete the chart with at least five words

5. Charting the Text

• Your first job after reading the article with your table group is to "Chart the Text" like we did with our first article by Domonoske. 
• I have a document on a sheet of paper that will help you navigate this process. 

1. Start by drawing a line where the introduction ends. 
2. Then draw a line above where the conclusion begins. 
3. Finally, divide the text into chunks that make sense (what is the author saying and doing in each section? 

Finished? 
If your group is finished with BOTH tasks for today, please call me over. There is more work to be done with this article.

Reminders: 
Have a great afternoon. Tomorrow is a minimum day.
