We can also make context text more engaging by creating projects, experiments, student- created multimedia, and more. (Page 55)]]> 2018-05-31 18:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264864572 Our ideas of texts are constantly changing, so our lessons should reflect that. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264865715 We should be using more than one source of text when teaching content area, not just their textbook. ]]> 2018-05-31 18:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264865715 We can better support our English language learners by providing visual representations for unfamiliar content area. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264867571 This will better assist them when connecting new information to the known. ]]> 2018-05-31 18:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264867571 When we as teachers are checking our students levels of understanding with questions, it is important that our questions be well thought out. We also need to thinking about what kind of answers we want and expect from our students. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264878263 Since there are different levels of questioning and comprehension, we need to be aware about what kind of answers we are going to get from each level, and which level is going to support our learning goals or objectives. ]]> 2018-05-31 19:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264878263 We can benefit our students long-term understanding by giving them the tools they need to understand the author's structure and pattern of organization. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264880076 While this can be difficult and challenging to do, we can teach students to independently recognize these signal words to strengthen their understandings. ]]> 2018-05-31 19:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264880076 Nowadays it is common to use digital texts while teaching content areas. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264881111 We can provide our students with search strategies like evaluating relevance to have them find what valuable information they are researching. ]]> 2018-05-31 20:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264881111 To have students organize their thoughts about their prior knowledge, their goals, and new learning, we can have our students use K-W-L and inquiry charts. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264883832 Although they are a bit different, both charts allow students to organize information, which will assist in them comprehending the content area. ]]> 2018-05-31 20:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264883832 I feel that inquiry charts are beneficial for students, because they allow students to compare information from different sources. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264884845 These charts could allow students to use resources that have not been censored by the state or school district, in addition to their textbooks. ]]> 2018-05-31 20:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264884845 Listen-Read-Discuss is an effective integrated strategy because it allows students to be exposed to the content through three different sources. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264885836 Students become exposed through listening in the lesson, reading it independently or with a group, and then discussing it with partners to deepen their understanding. ]]> 2018-05-31 20:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264885836 There are a few other strategies that the authors suggest using like questioning the author, scaffolded reading experience, and critical media literacy. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264887993 All of these strategies can be useful when teaching content area literacy. It is important to keep in mind that these strategies can be time consuming, and need to be well thought out and planned to be as effective as we would like. ]]> 2018-05-31 20:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264887993 Anticipation guides are very effective prereading strategies, because they help the teacher see their students misconceptions, and can help correct these through thoughtful instruction. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264906495 They are often based on personal experiences, which students would enjoy sharing in whole/small group discussions. This could get the students excited about what they are learning. ]]> 2018-05-31 23:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264906495 Text appetizers are great for building connections from your students' lives to certain content that may be considered dull. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264909580 Making this connection from them to the content helps promote an interest, which will allow them to be more invested.  ]]> 2018-05-31 23:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264909580 When developing a study guide, it is important create questions for your students to show their multiple levels of understanding. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264919591 However, they should not be too long and complicated. Remember to focus on the major concepts and important ideas. ]]> 2018-06-01 01:12:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264919591 Analogical guides can be effective when teaching complex science content. (They can be used for other topics, but most commonly for science related topics.) kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264945756 Using these guides are fun and creative ways for students to use analogies to better understand a complex topic. ]]> 2018-06-01 04:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264945756 When using a postreading strategy, it is important to remember to have students working cooperatively rather than independently. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264946497 There are many advantages of students working together, with one being that students will have a more positive view on the class. ]]> 2018-06-01 05:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264946497 When having our students working in small discussion groups, it is beneficial to assign roles to each student. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264947793 This will assure that each student will feel responsible and involved while completing the assignment. ]]> 2018-06-01 05:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264947793 If you are looking to teach history in a fun and engaging way, then you should use Phony Document Strategy! kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264948183 This strategy is kind of the a scavenger hunt, where students have to decide what statements are true and which are phony. ]]> 2018-06-01 05:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264948183 Graphic organizers can be used as effective postreading strategies. kellykbay https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264948622 Teachers can use graphic organizers like flow charts and venn diagrams are great tools to support students new learning. They can also be used as an exit ticket to check your students' understanding. ]]> 2018-06-01 05:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kellykbay/week3synthesis/wish/264948622
