I would rather not watch and complete this whole thing for you, but it is pretty easy. Just start off by introducing the text that you're referencing in your writing prompt and the author who wrote that text.
Say what you thought would happen in the story at the beginning, then explain two things that happened in the story.
After that, explain how your expectations changed (if they did) due to the two things that happened in the story.
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.)
Good question!!! i haven’t had a clue either and have been wondering
Answer:
Explanation: the memorable day in my life
The memorable day of my life was on 9th of May 2015.
The day officially began when I entered school and felt sad when no one remembered my birthday...
I left school with that foul mood as I opened the door and expecting the usual pop up surprise but it wasn’t so.my mum was busy in the kitchen and my senior sister was heading out with her best friend ...
I heard my mother’s voice and I dragged my feet downstairs to see a bunch of people waiting for me “happy birthday!”they chorused as a blush crept over my face...
...that day will forever remain evergreen in my memory
