Warm Up – April 18 th

1. Warm Up – April 18th • There are five sections of readings in Google Classroom. There are six students allowed per reading. Please sign up for the reading that sounds most interesting to you, and wait for further instructions!

2. Learning Targets: • I can identify the ten most important points of an article that I read with a group. • I can share these ten important points with a grouping of students who each worked with a different article. • I can use the information I learn today as a historical/biographical basis for my reading of The Importance of Being Earnest.

3. Group Work, Step One • Get into a group with the other students who chose the same handout you did. • Read over the handout, as it provides important background information for our reading of The Importance of Being Earnest. • As you read, create a list of the ten most important points from your reading. • You have 15 minutes.

4. Group Work, Step Two • Once all groups have finished, we will disband the existing groups and regroup! • These new groups will contain five people, each having read different readings. • Once you have your new group, each member will share the list of ten important points that were compiled in the first step (do NOT just copy. Think about what your group mates are saying, and, if need be, ask questions for clarification). • Write down all the information that each student from your group shares. • You have 15 minutes.
