Slide 2 CLOSE READING WITH MNEMONICS, MEDIA AND MEANING Slide 3
WHY CLOSE READING? Thoughtful, Critical Analysis of Text Focus on
Patterns Develops Deep, Precise Understanding Encourages Deliberate
Rereading Slide 4 WHAT IS CLOSE READING? Rigorous reading of
informational text Creating deep understanding Determining what
text says explicitly Making logical inferences Drawing conclusions
about content Examining meaning thoroughly Slide 5 WHY PAIRED
PASSAGES AND THEMES? Rigor asks students to use content to solve
complex problems and to develop strategies that can be applied to
other situations, make connections across content areas, and
ultimately draw conclusions and create solutions on their own.
Pairing passages provides opportunities for students to compare and
contrast how two texts treat the same subject. Paired passages is a
logical way to incorporate nonfiction and content reading. Theme
requires students to think more globally and apply a wide range of
knowledge and experience. Slide 6 Utilizing Paired Passages Compare
and Contrast texts for: Organizational patterns (2 nd and above)
Information (all grades) Genres (all grades) Authors point of view,
voice, style, message (3 rd and above) Word choice (all grades)
