Paired Texts

Paired Texts

Over the past week, I had the opportunity to go into our third grade classrooms and work on comparing two texts. We used Damon Bailey versus Romeo Langford articles. Students navigated to these articles using Google Classroom.While reading students filled out their Romeo versus Damon T-Chart. The T-chart allowed students to compare Damon and Romeo's middle school, high school, and college careers, as well, as after college. We read the article together and as we read I would pause to have students share what they learned. They recorded those thoughts in their T-Chart. After reading, students navigated to a Google Document were they checked the statements that applied to each player! The students loved learning about All-Stars from our state!

Here are some student examples from the lesson:
