Responding to a Reading 
(page 72)

the article on page 280 and write their 
responses either in class or at home.

If additional scaffolding is 
needed, do one or more of the following 
steps in class: 
• Have students work together to identify 
and write the main idea of the reading. 
• Have students write two sample topic 
sentences, one stating that the ideal 
society should be monolingual and the 
other claiming that multilingualism is 
preferable. Select students to write their 
sentences on the board and have the class 
evaluate them. 
• Have students select passages from 
the reading that support each point of 
view and paraphrase them. Have them 
exchange papers and check each other’s 
paraphrases. 
• Go over the proper citation form with the 
class.
