Cue - Students were told that they would use the CMR to complete Concept Diagrams for nonfiction and fiction in aiding reading comprehension.  We did separate diagrams for each.

Do - As a class, we co-constructed Concept Diagrams for reading comprehension of nonfiction and fiction separately.  By doing this, students were able to recognize the differences in characteristics for each.  

Review - Reading Comprehension was the targeted concept for this lesson.  By going through the process of completing the Concept Diagrams for both nonfiction and fiction, students can focus on the various characteristics presented in reading passages to determine if they are nonfiction or fiction.  Once they are able to recognize if a passage is nonfiction or fiction, they can use the characteristics they have identified to better understand what they are reading and apply this knowledge to correctly answer questions when assessed.
