1.3.2 Close Reading in Elementary School
A key instructional change contained in the CCSS is a focus on close reading, an instructional approach that guides students to go deeply into text to seek out information, acquire key concepts, and employ strategies, automatically and invisibly, as independent readers.

Take a few minutes to read "
Close Reading in Elementary School," a study
of how elementary school teachers adapted close reading protocol
for their students, by Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey. Focus your
attention on the "Key Features of
Close Reading" (pp. 181-182) and "Modifying Close Reading for
Elementary Schools" (pp. 182-187) to better understand how to lead
your students through a close reading.

From the reading, identify at least two close reading practices that are new to you that you could integrate into history/social studies content in your classroom and list those in your Metacognitive Journal.
