I really liked the Poignant Passages on pg. 249. I used it as part of my mini-lesson but tweaked it to fit the book we were reading. I did the activity on pg. 251/252. I did not use a physical newspaper, instead I used cnn.com.
So I will try to do this one: http://www.kcci.com/news/23044836/detail.html?hpt=T2
Headline: Teens Find Body During Easter Egg Hunt
Date: 04/03/10
Phrase of sentence that caught your attention: Two teens hunting for eggs discovered the man's body in the park
What you have to say about this phrase: YIKES! That must be a scary scene, but I hope they find out what happened.
The activity on pg. 213 "Writing in Margins" can help students proofread and peer read! I always enjoyed comments left by teachers and peers. They are helpful and show me someone else is interested in my reading! It would be a good way to practice it first with an essay or another story!
