The workshop aims to equip participants with the ability to describe and implement close reading techniques within various GED subjects. Close reading is defined as a method of uncovering layered meanings in a text through repeated readings and the asking of text-dependent questions. The process involves selecting short reading passages and formulating questions that require evidence from the text for their answers. The document suggests utilizing resources like Atlas close reading questions and even AI tools such as ChatGPT to generate these text-dependent questions and their corresponding answers. Participants are encouraged to engage in multiple reads of a text and to practice text marking as a method for active engagement and comprehension. The handout provides practical steps and examples, including a specific example of text marking, to facilitate the learning process.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/close-reading-in-ged-content-areas/263986/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/close-reading-in-ged-content-areas/263986.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"McGucket","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-31","2026-09-14",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",10,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is close reading?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Close reading is defined as reading to uncover layers of meaning that lead to deep comprehension.
