Description
This is the second lesson of the two-lesson cycle begun in Lesson 7. Students analyze the same excerpt they read for the gist in the previous lesson: pages 52–61 of World without Fish. Now, students identify Kurlansky’s point of view of Thomas Henry Huxley and how Kurlansky conveyed his point of view. There is a think-aloud and an opportunity for the class to work through an example together before triads work independently, but some students still may need further modeling and guidance. Working in triads to analyze Mark Kurlansky’s point of view helps students gain confidence as they hear and discuss the ideas and thinking of others.
