Thanks for sharing with so much detail. Your ...Amy,<br />Thanks for sharing with so much detail. Your blog is always filled with such useful and pertinent info. for teachers. Love it!<br />I'm definitely going to be taking a closer look at "close reading". I think all of the techniques you highlighted including taking notes in the margins and underlining important information play a huge role in creating independence in our students.<br />...my students are fascinated by Ben Franklin!<br />:0) Melissa<br /><a href="www.moretime2teach.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">More Time 2 Teach</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03793508519093879789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4961519307746127168.post-3460600876829217072013-04-06T00:24:02.883-04:002013-04-06T00:24:02.883-04:00So how long did this lesson take?
