Model Lessons, Teaching Strategies, and High-Quality Texts

Supporting Common Core State Standards for Reading Grades 6 – 8

About this book

This comprehensive manual that covers informational and literary texts will empower teachers to guide their students as they analyze challenging texts. Each lesson leads students to focus on the "why" and "how" of what an author is saying rather than just the "what."

In addition to the detailed definitions and examples for dozens of literary techniques, Gisele Cyr includes teaching tips and talking points which will help teachers engage students in in-depth analyses of excerpts of classic, contemporary, and poetic works. With guided help, students will find the in-depth analyses enriching and foster an honest appreciation for the classics.

The manual is designed to complement any school district's selections chosen to achieve mastery of the Common Core reading standards.
