How can teachers facilitate the rereading of the persuasive speech first read in Lesson 1? This lesson shows how rereading for significance and then explaining the moment’s significance can help students move from initial comprehension to drawing textual inferences. We suggest users go on to Lessons 3-4 to follow the progression to reading for interpretation and analysis of texts. Development supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

Agenda for the day

  • Reread for significance
  • Share significant sentences and phrases

Reread for significance

Ask students to reread "Ain't I a Woman?" to individually select three sentences or phrases that appear to be most significant to Sojourner Truth's argument. Stress to students that there is not a right or wrong sentence or phrase; however, some moments will be better to select than others given what the reader can say about the moment's significance to the speaker's argument.

Note-taking such as this gives students a good reason to reread carefully and teaches key cognitive skills for critical reading.
Teachers may want to assist English learners through this second rereading by chunking the text and assigning them one particular portion to reread initially. The chunk to select might build upon prior language concepts that they have studied or be one that offers rich examples of potential significant moments, for example, paragraph two. As the English learner engages in rereading, the language in the speech will become more familiar and they can reread more chunks of the text.

Have students make a two-column note chart in their Reader's/Writer's Notebooks to record the sentences/ phrases they select. Ask them to write the sentences/ phrases in the left column of their chart, then, across from each, do a Quick Write to explain the significance of the sentence/phrase to the speaker's argument. Before students begin, model a sentence/ phrase of your own on a transparency. Consider how you will phrase your explanation so that the model assists students' performance of the task without revealing too much of the argument you want them to discover for themselves.

In order to give English learners more time to study the model, leave this example on the overhead during the entire activity.

Questions & Answers

Three charges q_{1}=+3\mu C, q_{2}=+6\mu C and q_{3}=+8\mu C are located at (2,0)m (0,0)m and (0,3) coordinates respectively. Find the magnitude and direction acted upon q_{2} by the two other charges.Draw the correct graphical illustration of the problem above showing the direction of all forces.
Kate Reply
To solve this problem, we need to first find the net force acting on charge q_{2}. The magnitude of the force exerted by q_{1} on q_{2} is given by F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}} where k is the Coulomb constant, q_{1} and q_{2} are the charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them.

what is a capacitor?
Raymond Reply
Capacitor is a separation of opposite charges using an insulator of very small dimension between them. Capacitor is used for allowing an AC (alternating current) to pass while a DC (direct current) is blocked.

which has a higher temperature, 1cup of boiling water or 1teapot of boiling water which can transfer more heat 1cup of boiling water or 1 teapot of boiling water explain your . answer
Ramon Reply
I believe temperature being an intensive property does not change for any amount of boiling water whereas heat being an extensive property changes with amount/size of the system.
Someone
Scratch that
Someone
temperature for any amount of water to boil at ntp is 100⁰C (it is a state function and and intensive property) and it depends both will give same amount of heat because the surface available for heat transfer is greater in case of the kettle as well as the heat stored in it but if you talk.....
Someone
about the amount of heat stored in the system then in that case since the mass of water in the kettle is greater so more energy is required to raise the temperature b/c more molecules of water are present in the kettle
Someone

Two bodies attract each other electrically. Do they both have to be charged? Answer the same question if the bodies repel one another.
JALLAH Reply
No. According to Isac Newtons law. this two bodies maybe you and the wall beside you. Attracting depends on the mass och each body and distance between them.
Dlovan
Are you really asking if two bodies have to be charged to be influenced by Coulombs Law?

What is specific heat capacity
Destiny Reply
Specific heat capacity is a measure of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It is measured in Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C).
