What do we do when we note details?
“We do
an
intensive analysis
of a text in order to come to terms with
what
it says,
how
it says it, and what it
means
.”
Tim ShanahanSlide3
Noting Details
“
Focused
,
sustained
reading and rereading
of a text for the
purpose
of
understanding key points, gathering evidence, and building knowledge
.
Pearson, page 48 Slide4
Noting details provide us the
opportunity
to
assimilate new
textual information with their
existing background
knowledge
and
prior
experiences to
expand their schema
.
Doug FisherSlide5
Also, to note details effectively is to develop the
necessary
habits of readers when they
engage with
a complex
piece of text
.

Read with a pencil in hand – annotate the text!Look for patterns in the things you’ve noticed about the text – repetitions, contradictions, similarities
This is whatever the teacher wants the students to look for: key ideas and details, central message or theme, character traits
, etc.
Ask questions about the patterns you’ve noticed – especially how and why
How to note details effectivelySlide7
“Reading with a pencil”

note
of
any form

“Notin
g details must be
accompanied
by
other essential instructional practices
that are
vital to reading development:
interactive read-
alouds
and shared readings,
teacher modeling
and think-
alouds
.”
--Douglas FisherSlide14
“If young readers do
do
comprehending
, inferring, synthesizing
well—then
they’ll move rapidly up levels to the kinds of stories where paying attention to craft, structure, and language will become an essential part of their everyday reading work.”
-Calkins,
Ehrenworth

A final thought….Slide15Slide16
WHY THE DOCTOR WAS HELD UPA story from the Reader’s DigestSlide17
A little before nine, the phone rang. “Glenn Falls calling Dr. Van Eyck, said the operator. “Speaking.”
Who do you think are the major characters in this story?
Do you think the operator is a major character in the story?Slide18
There was the usual go-ahead please, and then, “This is Dr. Haydon at the Glenn Falls Hospital. A boy was just brought in with a bullet in his brain. He’s hemorrhaging badly and the pulse is weak.”
“Hemorrhaging” is a big word. What do you think it means? How do you know? Point out the part in the text that gives you a clue.Slide19
There was the usual go-ahead please, and then, “This is Dr. Haydon at the Glenn Falls Hospital. A boy was just brought in with a bullet in his brain. He’s hemorrhaging badly and the pulse is weak.”
Why fact is Dr. Haydon establishing about the boy based on what he
is
telling Dr. Van
Eyck?
What does Dr. Haydon want Dr. Van Eyck to do? Slide20
“I’m 30 miles from Glenn Falls,” said Dr. Van Eyck. “Have you tried Dr. Mercer?” “He’s out of town,” said Dr. Haydon. “The reason I’m calling you is that the boy comes from your city. He was spending the weekend here and shot himself with a
.22.”Slide21
“You say the boy’s from Albany?” asked Dr. Van Eyck. “What’s his name?” “Arthur Cunningham.”
“Don’t think I know him. But I’ll get there as fast as I can. It’s snowing badly, but I think I could make it before midnight.” “I ought to tell you the kid’s parents are poor and there isn’t much chance of a fee.”
“That’s all right,” said Dr. Van Eyck.Slide22
A few minutes later, the surgeon’s car stopped for a red light in the outskirts of Albany. A man in a brown leather jacket opened the door and climbed in.
“Drive straight ahead mister,” he said, “and better not make a fuss—I’ve got a gun.” “I’m a doctor,” said Van Eyck, “and this is an emergency.”
“Never mind the talk,” said the man in the jacket. “Step on it.”
A mile out of town, he ordered the doctor to stop and get out.Slide23
It took a half hour for Dr. Van Eyck to find a phone, and a lot of talking to persuade a taxi company to send out a cab. At the railroad depot, he found the next train to Glenn Falls wasn’t until 12:10.Slide24
It was after two when the surgeon reached the hospital. Dr. Haydon was waiting for him. “I did my best,” said Van Eyck, “but my car–”
“It was good of you to try,” said Dr. Haydon. “The boy died an hour ago.”Slide25
As the two men walked past the waiting room, Van Eyck suddenly stopped. On one of the benches, his head in his hands, was the man in the brown leather jacket. “Mr. Cunningham,” said Dr. Haydon. “Meet Dr. Van Eyck. He came all the way from Albany to try to save your boy.”
