Last week, I experienced one of the best common planning sessions with our 2nd grade teachers. I loved that we were able to thoroughly dissect one of our common core standards. The standard is:
Common Core State Standard: RI.2.2-Identify the main topic of a multi-paragraph text as well as the focus of specific paragraphs within the text.
We wanted to understand each part of this standard. In the past, we have taught main idea and understanding the topic of a text, but never together in this way. We wanted to make sure our students internalized the importance of putting the two together.
I created a graphic organizer for our students to use throughout the week. This graphic organizer will be pasted into their interactive journals. The graphic organizer can be used with any text.
By the end of the book, students will be able to write a summary of what the topic is and add the 3 most important things they learned about this topic. I'm very excited to see the end results.
