Learning Targets
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to say YES to the following question.
- Can I apply thinking skills to gain meaning from text?
- Can I recognize an increasing range of text structures and how they contribute to meaning?
- Can I transform ideas and information to create an original paragraph?
Different Types of Text
Information comes in many forms:
- Oral texts - speeches, radio, podcasts
- Written text - this is obvious....
- Visual text - posters, timelines, photographs, pictures
- Digital text - online / electronic versions of text
Some of these forms can be combined. Today, you will see how the sequential structure of biographies can be presented in digital text and you will use this information to gather timeline information for one of the people in this lesson.
Choices
For each person, there are two videos. Watch both videos. Take notes from both videos. Try to keep the notes basically in sequential order, like a timeline.
Choose one of the people:
- Albert Einstein - a scientist that made amazing discoveries whose work is still impacting science and developments today.
- Michael Jordan - famous basketball player (who has also done acting and been involved in business).
- Marie Curie - a Polish-born French physicist famous for her work on radioactivity and twice a winner of the Nobel Prize.
Go to your Learning Guide and complete Learning From Videos as you watch the videos about the person you choose.
