  2. 21ST CENTURY SKILLS • COMMUNICATION • COLLABORATION • CRITICAL THINKING

  3. Goal: TO THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT TEXT, WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY Children learn best by hearing and participating in a conversation about the text. Children may have many thoughts, connections, and ideas as they read; however WE need to model a meaningful conversation. Children need to practice their talking about text in order to respond later in a written format. Speaking is a dress rehearsal for writing.

  4. THREE TIERS TO THE TEXT • Thinking within the text • Thinking beyond the text • Thinking about the text

  5. Thinking within the text • Solving words and figuring out the meaning using context clues • Recalling information from the text • Summarizing • Prompts to spark the conversation…. • Where did this story take place….. Show me a picture or find the words to prove the setting. • Who were the characters…Show me one that you liked best and tell me why • What was the problem in the story…Find the page where you realized this was the problem • How did the story end and did you agree with the ending…look back • What was your favorite part….reread this part to me and explain why you liked it

  6. Model Responses to within the text Using these Thinking stems… • I think the problem in the story was…. because • I really liked the part when… because • The story took place in ….This made sense because….

  7. Beyond the Text • Predict • Make a prediction about what will happen next based on events from the text Model: I predict….because the text says…. Connect This story makes me think of….because… • Infer • Read between the lines. Use what the text says+ what you know = make an inference • Model: I infer …. Because the text says…and I know… therefore….

  8. Beyond the text (continued) • Synthesize • Come to a new understanding • Model: At first I thought ….., but while I was reading I learned/discovered….My new understanding is ……

  9. About the text • Analyzing • Identify how a text works • Determine how a text is organized • Explain the effect the author’s language has on the reader’s enjoyment and understanding of a text • Recognize genres & their characteristics • Recognize text & graphic features and realize how they help readers understand

  10. About the text continued • Critique • Judge and evaluate • Consider the strengths and weaknesses of a text • Assess if a text is credible, authentic, accurate and consistent with real experiences • Look for bias in a text
