Presentation transcript:

1. What does the text say? After actively reading the article and talking to the text, you are ready to tackle the 4 square. The first box is asking for explicit meaning, or what the text is saying directly. You find the content of this box by going back and re reading. Essentially this is a summary of the main points. Take about 5 minutes in your personal domain to write the summary. You will have time to compare with your table.

3. What does the text mean? Here, you are not to give specifics from the text and a new summary. Instead think:  What is the reason this article was written?  What is the author's point? So, the answer here is implicit, or not directly there. You must do some thinking and read between the lines. Take 5 minutes in your personal domain to complete this box. We will share out later.

2.How does the text say it? Now that you know what the text says, and what the author’s point is, you are to take a close look at HOW the author makes his/her point. This means you are to look at:  The format of the text  Is it argumentative? Then the author may use a counterargument.  Does the author use evidence from valid sources? Give examples.  What kind of tone does the author use? This helps you understand the purpose as well. Is he/she making jokes? Then it’s a playful tone Is he/she being sarcastic? Serious? Informative? You MUST use examples from the text in quotations, to support what you are saying.  Take 5 minutes to complete this box in your personal domain. Be prepared to give specific examples when we share out.

4.So what does it mean to you? NEVER write the following in this box:  I don’t connect with this text.  It doesn’t meant anything to me.  I don’t care.  I don’t know. Instead, think outside the box. - Why do you think it is important to know the information in this article? - Can you relate what you read to your life or that of someone you know? How? - What did this article make you think of? - Is the information in this article related to something else you have read? Assuming you actually read? Take 5 minutes to complete this box in your personal domain.
