understanding of the negation strategy
Get out your Springboard books

Add this page number to the Negation vocab word in your glossary
Review: Create a parenthetical citation for today’s reading:
“A definition of a Gentleman” by John Henry Newman on pg. 78 and 79
Answer: (Newman 78-79).
I will need 3 volunteers. One by one, you will be coming up,
selecting a slip of paper and use the negation strategy to
help the class guess your item/concept
Look for words like (never, doesn’t, seldom, won’t, etc.)
Now go through a 2nd time… any standard definition of a gentleman, mark in one
color and any definition by negation, mark in another.
Discuss and be ready to share (with evidence!)
Respond to the following prompt:
In your journals, write about what heroism is not. Use the
negation strategy to distinguish what heroism is from
what it is not. Be sure to:
Begin with a topic sentence that answers the prompt
Provide evidence (from real life) and reasoning to explain your
thinking
Use transitions to create coherence
