Reading Strategy
Reminder—Bringing It All Together As We Finish the Term
1.
"What are some skills, thought
processes, or strategies you use when reading print materials, such as your
textbook, a magazine article, or a newspaper article?"
2.
"How do you go about making
sense of what you read from a book, a magazine, or a newspaper?"
Reading Strategy
Practice (50 minutes)
Goals for your work with a partner today: use as many different strategies as you can
on the assigned reading; identify as many different strategies as you can when
your partner is reading and thinking aloud.
1.
With
Mr. Collins, review the think-aloud strategy I modeled yesterday and the types
of strategies and thought processes class members decided might be used when
reading a print text. (two minutes, just enough to remind everyone of how the
procedure worked yesterday)
2.
Make
sure you have the following:
a.
Article: “Should Teachers Be Allowed to Spank
Students?”
Article: “Back Off, Boss: Cute Kitten Videos May Improve Work Performance”
Article: “Back Off, Boss: Cute Kitten Videos May Improve Work Performance”
b.
Big
Strategy Sheet (from yesterday; GOLD)
c.
Reading
Think-Aloud Sheet (from yesterday; WHITE)
3.
Break
into pairs as follows:
a.
Pairs
only, unless we need ONE trio.
b.
Don’t
leave anyone out. BE KIND!
c.
Pair
up in twenty seconds or less, then get to work—quickety-quick!
d.
Spread
out around the room, in the library, and in the hallway IF Mr. Collins says it’s
okay.
4.
Partner
#1, you read aloud one of the articles to your partner, like I did to the class
yesterday. STOP AND THINK ALOUD, like I
did yesterday, when you are using a strategy.
(And yes, the goal for today is to use as many different strategies as
you can!)
5.
Partner
#2, you fill out the Reading Think-Aloud sheet, like the scribe did for me
yesterday on the big screen.
6.
You
can either identify the strategy of each think-aloud statement your partner
makes as you go through the reading together, or you can just record the
think-alouds first, then go back and label each one in the right-hand column.
7.
When
you finish article #1, switch articles and roles, and repeat steps 4-6 above.
8.
Each
of you needs to turn in a completed Reading Think-Aloud sheet to the drawer at
the end of this activity.
Read and Relax (30
minutes)
1.
Make
sure you finish Bookmark Journal #5, Making Connections, today, if you have not
already done so.
2.
I
will have book chats tomorrow with people who need them.
