Look closely, some details are hidden! Scholars learn how to find attributes by first examining characteristics in illustrations and then move to locating details in text with close reading. The teacher models good practices for recognizing specific elements in pieces of work. Finally, readers discuss text with the class and write sentences giving their analyses of the text.
