Oral Story Retellings: Traffic-Light Reading Report

522 Words3 Pages

For this journal, I have chosen the Questioning the Author, Oral Story Retellings: Narrative Text Structure, and Traffic- Light Reading strategies to discuss. I chose these three because two of them I have seen used in my first grade block class, Questioning the Author and Oral Story Retellings. I chose Traffic-Light Reading because it was one I had never heard of but thought that it was very engaging especially for elementary students. The Questioning the Author is a great way to get the students actually thinking about the reasoning behind the story. By questioning the author, this provides an instructional framework that focuses on increasing students’ understanding of expository texts. The teacher prompts the students as they read a book to think about the following questions: What is the author trying to tell us, why is the author telling us this, where is the author going with this line of thinking, and is it said so that we can understand it? This reinforces comprehension because it causes them to understand the ideas and problems in the text. This encourages the students to actively engage collaboratively with the ideas in the text and in discussing the answers. Once the students understand that the text and the author are to be …show more content…

The teacher will have the students either read or listen to a story and then dividing the story into four major and somewhat simplified story grammar categories: setting, problem, events, and resolution. A teacher can use pictures with this strategy to retell the story as remembered from listening or reading. It is important to remember to use prompts such as: “A little while ago, we read…” This strategy involves students reconstructing the complete story structure in a holistic, sequenced, and organized way. It helps students break the story into different parts so it is easier to remember the main

Haas And Flower Rhetorical Analysis

274 Words | 2 Pages

The Synopsis that I gathered from Haas and Flowers’ “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning” was none the less another interesting read. Experienced readers might come to understand that both reading and writing can be “context-rich, situational, and have constructive acts”. Though a large number of students may find reading and writing more or less to be an exchange of valued or non-valued information. Continuing on, multiple studies that have been conducted have also found that on average 77 percent of experienced readers tend to use content strategies to expand their knowledge of the reading. These strategies usually include vigorous annotations of the reading/writing that have been shown to improve the readers/writers’ comprehension of the material.

Battle Of Quebec Essay

1055 Words | 5 Pages

Throughout history, the American Continental Army was depicted as strong, dominant, and filled with perseverance, however it appears as though their strength was missing at the Battle of Quebec. The Battle of Quebec occurred on December 31, 1775 and lasted until January 1, 1776. It was a battle in which the Province of Quebec was covered in the same red as the victors’ coats. The attempt to capture Quebec concluded in a disastrous defeat for the Americans that was due to factors such as disparities in the level of experiences between the leaders, the disproportion of armies, freezing weather, weapons/fortification, and challenging terrain. The Battle of Quebec was a battle of great significance as it was “the first major war defeat for the

University Students Don 'T Read: What Professors Do To Increase Compliance'

971 Words | 4 Pages

In “Why University Students Don’t Read: What Professors Can Do To Increase Compliance” Mary E. Hoeft questions whether why students don’t like to read the assigned textbooks. Hoeft found that it is essential to know that there is a multiple of things we can do to boost the completion of reading assignments, for the professors who consider reading completion to be the main component to schooling (qtd. in Hoft 15). Some of these things could include could giving out quizzes, supplementary assignments, and to give reminders and making it interesting at the same time. While Hoeft suggest that reading completion is a team effort between the students and faculty, the emphasis of her argument is on whether students care about what they are reading.

Contemporary Memoirs: Annotated Bibliography

615 Words | 3 Pages

In “Contemporary Memoir: A 21st-Century Genre Ideal for Teens,” Dawn Latta Kirby and Dan Kirby argue that memoirs are an ideal genre for teachers to consider implementing into their instruction because they will improve students’ engagement with the texts, their understanding, and it will help them notice the writing conventions taking place on the page. Kirby and Kirby further explain, “[l]ooking for texts that exist outside of our instructional walls and the lead students to improve their abilities in sophisticated reading, writing, critical thinking, and inquiry strategies, we found CM to be a genre suited for teens of the 21st century” (22). Even though Contemporary Memoirs are not often read in the classroom, Kirby and Kirby explain that the same literary concepts and conventions exists within them. Furthermore, when teaching CM in the classroom “students also gain valuable abilities and perspectives for interpreting texts” (25) which in turn can help students to understand and create meaning of the text that they have read.

" Push through and it will get better" was an effective strategy we often heard eighth-grade readers telling each other but that would seldom be invoked in lessons on comprehension. Experience and trust in the context of a relational network made this strategy useful in ways that would not have been so in the reading of a required text or in cases where reading is considered an individual act.” Students listen to their peer and when their is an interest it usually spreads. This book is a sudden interest and would allow a student to read a novel that not only they will learn from but enjoy
