__Agenda__
1. Vocabulary Practice
 * [|Unit 3, Cluster 2 Quizlet]

2. Mark the Text 3. Reading Article 3, "Electronic Devices Should Be Required, Not Banned" 4. Create Summary Triangles (with questions only--we'll read and add to them later) for sections B, C, D.
 * What do we do first? (number the paragraphs)
 * Have students number the paragraphs in Article 3, then divide the article into sections:
 * paragraphs 1-3, section A
 * paragraphs 4-9, section B
 * paragraphs 10-14, section C
 * paragraphs 15-20, section D
 * Lead students through the title and the abstract of the article:
 * What do you think the author's main point is?
 * What claims (important ideas) are in the abstract?
 * Summary Triangles: We will create a Summary Triangle for each section of this article:
 * The triangle should take up most of a page of notebook paper.
 * In the center of the triangle, ask a question. The question can be based on the title for section A, then based on the subheadings for the other sections. Show students how to change the title/headings into questions.
 * After reading a section with the students, the top of the triangle is where students answer the question (in their own words).
 * The two bottom points of the triangle are where students record quotations from the section that support their answer to the section question.
 * And that's a Summary Triangle.
 * Lead students through creating a Summary Triangle for section A:
 * Base the question off of the title.
 * Read with students, have them underline important ideas/details as we read.
 * Give them a sentence template to answer the question.
 * Have them find words from the section (quotations) that support their answer. Show students how to cite those quotations.

5. If time permits, begin reading section B.
