Becket was born about 1119,[4] or in 1120 according to later tradition.[1] He was born in Cheapside, London, on 21 December, which was the feast day of St Thomas the Apostle. He was the son of Gilbert and Matilda Beket.[note 2] Gilbert's father was from Thierville in the lordship of Brionne in Normandy, and was either a small landowner or a petty knight.[1] Matilda was also of Norman descent,[2] and her family may have originated near Caen. Gilbert was perhaps related to Theobald of Bec, whose family also was from Thierville. Gilbert began his life as a merchant, perhaps as a textile merchant, but by the 1120s he was living in London and was a property owner, living on the rental income from his properties. He also served as the sheriff of the city at some point.[1] They were buried in Old St Paul's Cathedral.

What are the elements are involved in doing a close reading?
Elenna [48]
 The text (or excerpt) is short.
 The text is complex. (It contains challenging vocabulary, has some long and complex sentence structures, requires that students draw from background knowledge and/or experiences for understanding, uses a new or different text structure).
 The text is central to or supports the unit of study - it is contextualized in the unit and, therefore, meaningful for student learning.
 Each student has his/her own copy of the text. (In primary grades, the experience may be designed around a read aloud.)
 (Optional) The length of the text may be differentiated for different groups of students, based on language proficiency or reading levels.
 A subset of reading standards has been selected. (For ELL’s, specific language standards may also apply.)
 The selected standards include Reading Standard 1 (text evidence) and Reading Standard 4 (meaning of words and phrases), which force students to stay “close” to the text.
 The purpose (and the specific skills and strategies) are directly linked to the selected standards.
 The purpose of the close reading experience is clearly stated for students. It explains the specific skills and strategies that students will practice.
•The first reading of the text is done independently. (In primary grades, within a read aloud or shared reading.)
 The student is asked to re-read to deepen understanding.
•The teacher reads portions of the text aloud, after an independent read (if needed)
 There are specific, text-specific questions to guide reading, discussion and writing.  The questions are directly related to the focus and identified standards.
 Some questions target literal understanding and others require students to make inferences, analyze or make connections (depending on selected standards).
 Some questions require students to cite textual evidence. RL 1 / RI 1 ANNOTATION (In primary grades, students may not be asked to annotate.)
 Students annotate the text (using taught strategies) in order to prepare for discussions and writing.
 The annotation strategy matches the purpose for reading and the standards selected.
 Students have an opportunity to discuss specific questions in partnerships or in small groups (to ensure that every student can engage with the questions) before whole class discussion.
 Discussion is embedded in every day of the close reading experience (if there are multiple days).
 Protocols for discussion may be used as students are learning to engage effectively with each other.
 Students have opportunities to consolidate their thoughts by drawing and/or writing. (Writing tasks vary in length, from short responses to longer pieces. They may be summaries, reactions, or responses to specific questions. They can be completed in class or at home.)
