Literature Response


 * Teacher pick an article from Teaching Tolerance. Teacher gives the article and the Priority Pyramid.
 * Teaching Tolerance website: [] and Priority Pyramid handout are in the "Reading" file (see left).


 * Priority Pyramid - they take notes around the pyramid. Then prioritize those notes by numbering them. Then they transfer the priorities to the pyramid. On top of the pyramid they write the topic sentence. (This "Priority Pyramid" helps them with the topic sentence and their drafts later).


 * After that, students write a summary draft (look at their priority pyramid), and make sure they include the topic sentence in their drafts. The last paragraph they need to write their reaction to that article.
