Building Background Knowledge (Continued)


Description

Lesson 7 continues the arc of instruction begun in Lesson 6; here, students work more independently with sections 2-4 of the same article, “The Vietnam Wars.” Note that the final section of the article, “Doc Lap at Last,” is addressed in Lessons 9 and 10. Continue to remind yourself and students of the purpose of reading these middle sections of this dense informational text: to build basic background knowledge about the history of wars in Vietnam. Students do NOT need to understand every twist and turn in this long complex history. Continue to focus them on the main idea, and encourage them to consider how this informational text is helping them understand the novel.
