  5. What is Text? • Texts communicate a message, either written or spoken • Anything that can be the subject of analysis, interpretation What would you describe as texts? • Music • Dance • Artwork • Clothing • Theatrical Production

  6. What do reader’s do? Think of yourself as a reader • How do you approach reading? • Where do you like to be when you read? • What do you do when a text is difficult? • What do you enjoy? • How does it affect you?

  7. What is Reading? • Reading is thinking. Readers are aware of what they are thinking as they are reading and use strategies interchangeably as they read.

  8. Discussion • What is the focus of reading instruction in your classroom. • What is the focus of the reading instruction as defined by your curriculum and/or materials (basal) • How do you have students respond to literature?

  10. Critical Literacy Critical literacy is the ability to read texts in an active, reflective manner in order to better understand power, inequality, and injustice in human relationships. Students’ cultural knowledge and multimedia practices should be used (Comber, 2001, Vasquez, 2000) When we read we bring with us our past experiences and understandings about how the world works. (Vasquez, 2010)

  11. How can we Teach it? • Compare texts- incorporate literature with “real-life” texts • Discuss characters’ perspectives • Make connections (Text to Self, Text to World, Text to Text) • Use children’s literature to focus on social issues • Encourage children to take action • Incorporate a variety of texts modes

  12. Reader Response Transactional Theory- the act of reading involves a transaction between the reader and the text. Each "transaction" is a unique experience in which the reader and text continuously act and are acted upon by each other. • A written work does not have the same meaning for every reader • Each reader brings individual background knowledge, beliefs, and context to a reading From the work of Louise Rosenblatt Ideas for Reader Response

  13. CC.K-12.SL.5 Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas: Make strategic use of digital media and visual displays of data to express information and enhance understanding of presentations.
