Before Lesson 10, Identifying the Effects of a Cause, we read pgs. 65-75 silently. As we read, we put sticky notes next to details that grabbed our attention. When we began, students were made aware that this prompt would be graded using the dialogue and evidence rubric once again. After using our sticky note details to find the main idea of this passage, we had a skill drill listing effects after one cause. We then put these effects into categories (i.e.: personal effects on Gage, effects on science in 1848, effects on science today). Lesson 10 prompt: Your friend says, "So some guy 160 years ago got a rod through his skull and survived. Cool, but really, what's the big deal?" Write your response to your friend, explaining at least one effect this event had. Be sure to use evidence from the text to support your answer.
