----------
✦The text selected for students is often at their instructional level, which means that Ss need scaffolding and support as they attempt to read it.
✦One way teachers can minimize the frustration or boredom some students experience is by introducing them to new vocabulary and concepts before reading the text at all. 
✦Ss relate concepts and appeal them to their previous knowledge.]]> 2017-11-03 03:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203172331 Introduce the text diegobelmar_riv https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203173025 ✦T explains broadly what the text is about.
✦T displays the seven rules (only the titles of each rule).]]> 2017-11-03 03:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203173025 "Circle of Voices" activity diegobelmar_riv https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203173113 Purpose: generate ideas, develop listening skills, have all students participate, equalize learning environment.
✦Ss have to make groups (4-5).
✦Each Ss will have one of the seven rules. Ss have to discuss as a group with the purpose of predict/brainstom ideas of what the rule is about.
✦Ss have to create a mind-map (including phrases, images or whatever they find suitable).

✦This activity will lead to a general discussion between the whole class because their classmates and T can comment new ideas about the rule.
✦Some shy students might feel uncomfortable having to speak. Lessen their fear by making the topic specific and relevant or by choosing a "spoken person" to speak in representation of the group.]]> 2017-11-03 03:59:56 UTC https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203173166 diegobelmar_riv https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203173236 ✦By doing this first approach to the text, we want to only introduce the general ideas/topic of the text and strategies for reading (the Ss had not read it yet). Considering that the text is a bit complex and long, the usage of simple English, gestures, and exagerated diction will be suitable to aid Ss to establish a more kind relationship with the text as discussion is generated. We believe that in the next session, Ss will have already read the text so, another strategies and activities could be involved.
✦It is important to mention that we do not want to follow conventional individual patterns that reading is known for, but implement and teach reading as something that can be developed in groups and without being so steady and isolated.

✦The charts should be discussed and completed as a whole class.
✦The idea of implementing this is to check undertanding.
✦The ideas written in the columns will serve to the T, as well to the Ss, to have a broad spectrum of Ss knowledge and what they might need more help. ]]> 2017-11-05 03:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203586957 Introducing Reading Strategies diegobelmar_riv https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203587178 Global understanding: it means understanding the general meaning of the ideas of a text.
Skimming: reading to determine the main ideas of a text.
Scanning: reading to determine specific information of a text.
Other strategies:
-Highlighting
-Summarizing
----------
✦By introducing these strategies, T aims not only make the reading easier but also, to help Ss become purposeful, wich means active readers who are in control of their own reading comprehension.]]> 2017-11-05 03:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203587178 Three Column Chart diegobelmar_riv https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203589340 At this point of the class, all of the three columns will be fulfilled with ideas. Considering that, to wrap up the session, T will return to each chart column to give general feedback to Ss and ask for any other doubts.]]> 2017-11-05 04:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203589340 General Information diegobelmar_riv https://padlet.com/diegobelmar_riv/mlh0h6jwtmua/wish/203589632 Target audience: University first year students.
