Catch seems more complicated, each time I have done Catch, I have to constantly explain to the students what they are expected to do. Most of them just underline or circle a few words and don't even take the time to define them or say what they don't understand. This helps them to understand what the topic is and give a point of view which demonstrates an understanding.]]> 2021-11-16 22:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895270386 The challenges for PE classes include class size and the fact that gyms are not conducive to reading and writing activities due to lack of student desks/chairs. --Sosa https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895280905 2021-11-16 22:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895280905 GBTJ https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895292971 It's another tool to help enable students to get a better understanding of the text.]]> 2021-11-16 22:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895292971 Easier https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895297848 I think it makes reading a lot easier because you know what the purpose of reading the article is if you already have questions to answer as you go through the reading]]> 2021-11-16 22:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895297848 GBTJs https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895298505 I believe that consistent use of GBTJs will allow students to comprehend more challenging readings on several different levels such as literal and symbolic significance. The student will also be able to better develop an understanding of deeper meanings and biasness by authors.]]> 2021-11-16 22:25:16 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895298505 It can jump past basic behaviors, such as picking out unfamiliar words. https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895302679 Students may already have strategies for mechanics like vocabulary understanding that they use. They don't need to focus on that all the time, and can focus on general, then detailed meaning.]]> 2021-11-16 22:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895302679 Simpler https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895302882 Makes the reading a lot more engaging and easy to understand.

If students aren't able to read the text they can not annotate the text either. Students will need additional supports and working in pairs will not be enough. What can be done is present new vocab. terms, spark a conversation about covid vaccines, and chunking the reading material enough so that students are able to comprehend the text. ]]> 2021-11-16 22:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895313553 It can help students to find the main idea in almost any text.

I imagine it would be something similar to the non-fiction one, with some minor adjustments. ]]> 2021-11-16 22:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895323471 I find it more meaningful. It bypasses the surface level stuff and jumps right in to talking to text where I believe comprehension is more likely to pop. On the other hand it is possible that beginning readers may still need define words and ask clarifying questions. https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895323966 2021-11-16 22:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895323966 I like that this is a new and fresh idea. And that hopefully student's and teacher's will buy into it and use it. The GBTJ strategy seems to be more precise. https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895325679 2021-11-16 22:49:14 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895325679 I think it can train students to slow down because they are forced to periodically stop and process what they're reading. annetteserfozo1 https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895327364 2021-11-16 22:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895327364 We need more fiction/poetry in physics? https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895327616 I could see there being some difficulty in implementing in non-English classes where there is often not as wide a variety of genres studied. That said, I do see opportunities to modify for different forms of "reading" (I do this with different forms of data representation like graph formats, force diagrams, readings, architectural floorplans, etc). I think the main focus is on getting students to focus on thinking tasks, thus teaching them to see reading as a tool and not an assignment (or worse, a punishment). Also, after writing that title, I'm seriously considering finding some way to shoehorn poetry into my classes!]]> 2021-11-16 22:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895327616 They similar in they're asking students to identify the main idea of the paragraph. They're different in that it's a more structured approach.

I appreciate how versatile they are and how you use leveled questions to guide a students understanding throughout the entirety of any text. https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895330801 2021-11-16 22:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895330801 Clearer https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895336091 I think it can really help break down more difficult readings into 2 essential questions which should allow student to get an overall idea as to what the reading it attempting to describe. ]]> 2021-11-16 22:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895336091 How can I expand on this for our students who may think this is repetitive work? I would like to use this as much as possible and fear that some students may consider it predictable. Other than that T, POV and Central Idea JOT have a home in my classroom. https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895339568 2021-11-16 23:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895339568 I think there would be challenges from the students questioning bringing reading/writing into the art class (it has happened before). Outside of that, I can see this being implemented through an Art History lesson. https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895345618 2021-11-16 23:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895345618 questions https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895347043 How to measure the effectiveness of this tool]]> 2021-11-16 23:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895347043 You might miss a focus element that could be essential. But I think that would still be on the instructor to know the text, their students, and what they want the focused learning targets to be and then it wouldn't be a big deal. https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895350053 2021-11-16 23:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895350053 Chunking and attention https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895353646 Implementing the GBTJ strategy helps because a big passage is being chunked, discussed, and annotated. This not only helps students have a better in debt understanding of the text, but it also eases the mind knowing we will be tackling small tasks. Additionally, having the annotation key at the top helps students' attention because it serves as a nice reminder to what the task is. ]]> 2021-11-16 23:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895353646 Undestand https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895355134 Using GBJTs for reading help students to find the main idea faster and understand the concept. ]]> 2021-11-16 23:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895355134 Off task https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895357400 A challenge would be for students who are usually off task and would not complete their reading because it might seem "too hard"]]> 2021-11-16 23:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895357400 I like GBTJs as they provide students opportunity to developed comprehension skills, but most important, it allows me to focus on the main point of the reading. https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895361356 2021-11-16 23:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895361356 https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895363759 Great tool to use with my students.]]> 2021-11-16 23:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895363759 Less Stress https://padlet.com/addiedavis2/6dk1uyjv5b98s9z7/wish/1895385642  Students have clear expectations for reading, while also gaining full knowledge and understanding of the text.
