Lesson 5: Discerning when to use a Reading Strategy SWBAT identify when and how much they need to annotate and when they should use the rereading strategy or an audio recording of the text. SWBAT summarize a text through written expression. SWBAT correct fragments and run-ons.

Some Clarifications… Setting: The Shire, the home of the hobbits Hobbits are small, sturdy, simple creatures. They are a separate branch of humans. They are also called halflings. Bilbo, a hobbit, has the master ring that rules over all the other rings of power. (More about this in chapter 2). Gandalf is a wizard.

Add to your section 2 summary…. Although the ring has a hold on Bilbo, Bilbo still gives over the ring. This is the first time the ring has been given over willingly. Note: If you are confused about why the ring has power over Bilbo, just hang tight. History of the ring is revealed in chapter 2.

Frodo comes in after Bilbo leaves. Gandalf tells Frodo to keep the ring secret and safe.

As master of Bag End, Frodo distributes Bilbo’s presents and belongings to others. Bilbo’s disappearance causes quite a commotion.

Gandalf visits Frodo again and warns Frodo not to use the ring. Gandalf is clearly anxious about the ring. Gandalf leaves, and Frodo does not see him for a long time.

Chapter 2: The Shadow of the Past Section 1 Characters: Frodo Merry: Frodo’s friend Pippin: Frodo’s friend Sam: Frodo’s friend and gardener

Stations Group 1 (Back group): Lord of the Rings -You may use a laptop as needed in order to listen to the audio version. Group 2 (Middle group): On-Going project Group 3 (Reading): Sister will guide you through this. Note: I am focusing on group 3. The rest of you will work independently. If you need help, first whisper to a neighbor. If you need my help, take a Styrofoam cup and put it on your desk. I’ll get to you ASAP. I will check your progress near the end of each station. If it seems like you haven’t done much, I will assume you need extra support and will ask you to meet with me at lunch. Be aware of others. If you even seem distracted (even if you are asking a neighbor for help), I will give you a warning and then detention if I get onto you again.
