Assessment before and after a lesson. alejandrodiiaz18 https://padlet.com/alejandrodiiaz18/ee7mvr0k67hoqbnb/wish/683600364 1.1 Explanations are always rooted in assessment. That is, we teach a specific skill or strategy because we have watched students read and have noted a particular need.

1.2 Assessment is closely tied to application because the only assessment that really matters is whether students use what they have learned when doing real reading.

They should be taught in conjunction with real reading activity using real text.
2.2 I expect the examples will be a source of ideas for you, but that you will use different text and different instructional situations in your own lesson.

Objectives are stated so that we can evaluate whether the objective was achieved.

Modeling the Thinking alejandrodiiaz18 https://padlet.com/alejandrodiiaz18/ee7mvr0k67hoqbnb/wish/684042035 Modeling how to read is not like demonstrating a physical task such as tying your shoes. It occurs in the mind and is invisible. We provide a verbal description of the thinking one does or, more accurately, an approximation of the thinking involved .

Because modeling usually provides students only with a toehold, they need scaffolds, or crutches, when they try to do what we modeled 
5.2 The goal is to move from teacher ownership to student ownership. At first, students are dependent on our assistance. But as we gradually reduce the amount of our assistance, students gain experience in responding and build their own understandings.

Application in Reading alejandrodiiaz18 https://padlet.com/alejandrodiiaz18/ee7mvr0k67hoqbnb/wish/684055092 6.1 Students know that application is the goal from the beginning of the lesson. Application is the ultimate reason for providing an explanation. If students do not apply what they learned, the lesson is a failure. 

6.2 By the same token, if a student is able to demonstrate a skill or strategy with scaffolded assistance but is not able to apply it independently when reading a real text, the lesson has not been successful. ]]> 2020-08-18 01:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alejandrodiiaz18/ee7mvr0k67hoqbnb/wish/684055092 Teaching Literature alejandrodiiaz18 https://padlet.com/alejandrodiiaz18/ee7mvr0k67hoqbnb/wish/684070101  LIN-4440:  English Program-UPNFM             - Dr. Jenny Zelaya        Second Term, 2020
