This week, we revisited The U.S. Constitution, by Norman Pearl. Students learned how to find the central idea by paying close attention to the headings, subheadings, and topic sentences. They also noted important details that supported the central idea. We also analyzed various text and graphic features that helped us understand the content of the piece. At the end of the week, students watched an informational video entitled “Why We Celebrate the Fourth of July”. They learned that authors use media to inform, entertain, and persuade viewers. We discussed how media techniques are the ways a topic is presented (i.e. sound elements, live action, visual elements, animation, experts, etc.).
