This lesson introduces students to one of the module Guiding Questions, which will help focus their work throughout the module. Preview Part A of Work Time carefully in advance, and think of specific examples to illustrate the concepts of culture, time, and place that will resonate with your specific student population. General models are offered as a guide. Be prepared to offer these examples, or your own more specific ones, as models if students struggle with these abstract concepts.
In this lesson, students practice gathering evidence from the text to support their understanding of character point of view in A Long Walk to Water. This involves rereading and additional practice to support the process of close reading.
