About This Lesson
The goal of this two to four day exemplar is to give teachers multiple pathways to careful reading of a typical middle school science textbook with their students. All of these suggestions, used alone or in any combination the teacher chooses, will provide students the opportunity to use the reading and writing habits they need to employ on a regular basis to absorb important content – in this case, about the human digestive system.
