READINGActivity 5: Introducing Key Vocabulary The purpose of this activity is to assist students in vocabulary development through the practice of identifying and defining unfamiliar words encountered in their reading. Provide students with red pens or pencils. During the first read of each article, students should identify words that they are unfamiliar with by underlining them in red. Students should then create their own list of vocabulary words. Create a class list of words that many students struggle with. As a class, discuss the definitions of these words, encouraging students who know the definitions to contribute to the answer. “Generation Next”:
“The Real Generation Gap”:
“Kids labeled ‘generation next’ before they grow up”:
“No escape from ‘helicopter parents’”:
“The ‘Trophy Kids’ Go to Work”:
“The Millennials: Confident. Connected. Open to Change.”:
“Generation Me vs. You Revisited”:
Activity 6: AnnotationDuring the second read of each article, students should annotate for the following: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos Author’s thesis Authors argument Loaded Language/Bias **“Loaded language” is language that is manipulative and biased in its usage in order to get you to feel a certain way. Activity 7: Student PerspectiveDuring the third read of each article, students will use the against-the-grain reading strategy to formulate their own opinion and perspective on the arguments presented. Students should annotate their opinions, reactions, conclusions, and questions in the right-hand margin of each article.
