This lesson follows the close reading model using the book 14 Cows for America. This story is a recount of the events on September 11 told through the eyes of a young man to his village in Kenya. Through several close readings of the text, the students will describe characters and how their actions contribute to the story, and explain how the illustrations contribute to what is conveyed by the words in the text. A series of text dependent questions are provided along with independent practice on character traits and text evidence. Also included is a culminating writing task along with a rubric for scoring.
