Focus: What types of messages fill the world around us?
Objective: Students will identify explicit and implicit claims.
1. We used the analogy of catching & throwing a ball and this video clip to understand the difference between infer and imply.
2. Writers Notebook #4
3. Independent reading and reading log.
4. Advisory conferences.
5. We talked about how the world around us is full of people presenting claims, or messages they want us to believe. We learned the difference between an explicit claim, which is directly stated, and an implicit claim, which is suggested but not actually stated.
6. We used this handout to practice identifying the claims made by these items.
7. Homework: Find an interesting piece of product packaging to bring to class next time.
