Conclusion Writing Claim-Evidence-Reasoning Students should support their own written claims with appropriate justification. Science education should help prepare students for this complex inquiry practice where students seek and provide evidence and reasons for ideas or claims (Driver, Newton and Osborne, 2000).

Comprehension Instructional Sequence 27 Hook Question: How do humans influence the movement of water? Predictive Written Response to Complex Text-Based Question: What are some positive and negative consequences when humans influence the movement of water? Vocabulary Front-Loading (Pre-reading text) Text Marking (Reading 1) – An active reading strategy that helps students focus and isolate essential information in a text, improving their comprehension and retention of reading material. Directed Note-Taking (Reading 2) Student Question Generation (Reading 3) First draft written response to essential question: How does water move through the water cycle ?

Human Impact on Water Cycle Definition of Infrastructure (n)Definition of Infrastructure (n): Physical organization structures in a city to allow for the entire city to function as a system. Examples: Road, public water, drainage, sewer, electrical, and telecommunication systems all contribute to the functioning of the entire city system. Department of Mathematics and Science

Vocabulary Front-loading: Infrastructure Independently, identify/highlight/underline words that are unfamiliar to you. Department of Mathematics and Science

Expository Writing Handout

Vocabulary Front-loading 32 Vocabulary Instruction Direct students to locate words introduced in the text by paragraph number. Model for students how to derive word meaning(s) from word parts (prefix, root, suffix) and/or context. Record meanings of word parts and words on word wall, journal, etc.

Vocabulary Front-loading 33 Handout

Reading 1: Text Marking and Discussion this section of text shows a positive impact of infrastructure on society or the individual – - this section of text shows a negative impact infrastructure on society or the individual P – this section of text shows a problem S – this section of text shows a solution If students are exposed to close reading yearly, by the time they get to high school they will be better prepared to handle complex texts.

Reading 2: Note-Taking & Discussion 35 Present a guiding question to direct student thinking while taking notes. Teacher models note-taking with some examples from the text, and selects the category or categories that the statement supports. Students complete note-taking collaboratively or independently.

Directed Note-Taking with video on Climate Change 36 First Draft Written Response to Essential Question: Using evidence from the text, why is it important to identify problems and develop solutions, when studying the flow of water? Why is it important to understand how water moves through the spheres of the earth?

In small groups, take positions and discuss which factor is most significant/impactful (based on the text), and come to consensus. Group Consensus Individual Vote #1 Individual Vote #2 Positive Impact Negative Impact Problem Solution 1)Count number of groups that selected each category. 2)Count number of individuals that selected each category. 3) After hearing discussion and text-based evidence, did you change your mind? New independent vote! (Modification - Four Corners)

Reading 3: Question Generation Purpose: To provide students with a demonstration of question generation and the opportunity for them to interact with the text by generating questions to further deepen their comprehension. 38 Generate questions unanswered from your first text reading. Record your questions on your Student Question Generation paper as you work in pairs or small groups. In your groups, select one question and place on grid at front of room in appropriate category.

Final Response After Rereading and Extended Text Discussion Purpose: To provide opportunities for students to interact with the text and with their peers to: – identify text information most significant to the final/essential question. – facilitate complex thinking and deep comprehension of text. After the final discussion, answer the following question on your handout: According to the text and extended text discussion how can society affect the way water moves to avoid negative impact on the environment? 39 Department of Mathematics and Science
