Teacher Commentary
Students often benefit from multiple readings of complex text. Depending on the reading level of the student, the first read is usually focused on comprehension, or making meaning of the text. A second read is necessary in order to evaluate the text and gain a deeper understanding. For this teacher model, demonstrate how you work through the text paying particular attention to source and making connections to the perspective presented.* You may also want to demonstrate how to situate text in the historical context, and make connections to the previous text. Keep your model short, under a minute, leaving an abundance of work for students to do with the text to practice sourcing. Again, record your Think Aloud on the text and instruct students to make the same notes on their own text.

*Perspective, in this case, is the point of view of the speaker. We want students to notice how the perspectives differ based on who is speaking and the interests they represent.
