Determining Author’s Purpose: Industrial Food Chain


Description

In this lesson, students work in pairs and triads with less teacher modeling and input to find the gist, answer text-dependent questions, and to determine the author’s purpose and identify conflicting viewpoints and evidence. This is to prepare them for the mid-unit assessment in which they will do this independently.
