  1. Reading &Writing Strategies Module 1 October Teacher Planning Sessions

  2. “Instruction in America’s elementary reading classes has been based on this theory: a series of comprehension questions – coming from the basal reader or the teacher – are posed, and the goal is to see if children can answer them in the way the teacher believes they should. Many teachers teach what the basals tell them to teach. Rarely are students taught HOW to comprehend and analyze whole sections of text. If students complete drill sheets and workbook pages, that ensures that they can comprehend text.” Keene and Zimmerman, Mosaic of Thought, page 16

  7. Think of summarizing as a mirror that is reflective of our student’s learning, therefore of our teaching. It is both formative and summative, and should always direct our instruction.

  8. Summarizing TechniquesIf I taught it, how do I know they got it? Your team will have time to “divide and conquer.” You will split up and investigate 17 different summarizing strategies. The next slide names each strategy. The strategies are SMARTBoard files in a folder on the T Drive. You will spend time investigating the strategy, determining curriculum ties and places that you could utilize the strategy across various content areas. You will utilize a graphic organizer to create a “cheat sheet” for your teammates. Administration will collect the “cheat sheets” and create strategy cards for your team. Happy summarizing!
