Observing & Thinking Critically Sometimes the answer to a
question is camouflaged in the question or image. You MUST look
very closely at EVERY detail!!! 6
Slide 7
Look Again Is there Something you Missed? 7 What details did
you see at first glance? Are there details that you missed that you
see on your second glance?
Slide 8
Pulling Critical Thoughts Together Pulling the 4 images/ themes
together: Determine the Common Thesis for all 4 pictures. Write
your Common Thesis at the bottom. Now read the text below Picture

Slide 11
Reflection on What we just Did What did the Thesis Table
Picture activity ask you to do? In what ways did Thesis Table
Picture activity & Lorax reading implement A & W
strategies? How could you perform a critical thinking picture
activity within your curriculum? How can other forms of information
or media (beside formal text) be annotated &/or be used in
writing assignments in your curriculum to encourage reading
comprehension & critical thinking? 11
Slide 12
Why Should We Implement A & W Strategies? 12 College

A & W strategies implemented into daily curriculum How do we
make these goals relevant to our students? -Think/Pair/Share
Slide 13
Common Core Standards define the knowledge and skills students
should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will
graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing
academic college courses and in workforce training programs. (NGA
& CCSSO, 2010) http://www.corestandards.org 13
Slide 14
the close reading model is a central guiding principle of the
standards and as a result will be a central focus of the PARCC
Assessment System. Close reading stresses engaging with a text of
sufficient complexity directly and examining its meaning thoroughly
and methodically. It emphasizes using texts of
grade-level-appropriate complexity and focusing student reading on
the particular words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs of the
author, encouraging students to read and re-read deliberately. 14

2012 L IVING TO S ERVE : E NVIRONMENTAL G RANT Thank you for
helping our initiative in reducing our carbon footprint, our waste,
and educating the community. Matt Lewis and Cathy Culver worked
together on writing a grant to receive funds to purchase water
bottle filler stations on campus. This was done in conjunction with
our ASU GK12-Sustainability initiative that was started 2 years ago
with the help of Donna Bond, Barbara Babb, Teryl Kilanowski, Jill
Kenyon, and Katy Gazda. Now that we have purchased the filler
stations, we need to begin the last phase of educating the students
and staff.
Slide 19
2012 L IVING TO S ERVE : E NVIRONMENTAL G RANT In May, Matt
Lewis will need to submit information on how Environmental
awareness and education was implemented within our school that
would reach our community through our purchase of the water bottle
stations. We are asking a favor from you. 1. Since you need to
submit a Data Wise lesson for annotation, we have created one that
you may use. 2. If you want, please follow the instructions on the
next slides to implement the lesson. 3. When you are done, submit
copies with reflection to your department chair for your data wise
implementation and one to Matt Lewis to include in his report for
the grant. 4. We thank you for your help with implementing this
wonderful program. 5. For your efforts, every teachers name who
submitted lessons to Matt Lewis will be put into a drawing to
receive a free water bottle designed by students at Chandler High
School through the Environmental Club. Five teacher will be awarded
a water bottle. You can choose one of three different designs if
your name is drawn.

Reminder! Earth Day is coming up April 22 nd, 2013! This would
be a great lesson to promote Earth Day!

Water Bottle Design Choice #1 You may purchase the bottles for
$8.00 thru the Environme ntal Club. Please see Katy Gazda.
Slide 22
Water Bottle Design Choice #2 You may purchase the bottles for
$8.00 thru the Environme ntal Club. Please see Katy Gazda.
Slide 23

1. Discuss what students know about tap water versus bottled
water. Ask, Why do you buy bottled water? 2. Show the 6 minute
video clip. Have the students complete the Stop and Think
worksheet. They are to write key ideas or phrases they find
important and write one question about it at each stop. NO, you do
not need to stop the video, it is for them to write an ah ha moment
that made them stop and think as they watched the video. 3. Discuss
what they learned. Revisit the question posed at the beginning of
the lesson, Why do you buy bottled water? What can you do
differently at home? 4. Introduce what they can do differently at
school. Show the last slide with the image of the water bottle
station in the back of the library. Inform the students that if
they bring their own bottles they can refill them at the water
station. The water they are getting is double filtered water. As
they fill their water bottles, a digital counter to the right shows
how many plastic bottles that the school has saved so far from
using the filler stations.
