4. Link concepts with students prior knowledge and experience. Making

meaningful connections to their own lives helps all students assimilate and retain
material. As English learners read each chapter, encourage them to share information about their home countries. For example, ask students to discuss events that
occurred in their home countries at the same time as those in the chapters.
5. Use primary sources to help students personalize information. The inclusion of primary source materialsa guiding feature of World History: Patterns of
Interactiongives students an insight into the personal dimension of historical
events and issues. The primary sources that are integral to World History: Patterns
of Interaction include the numerous quotations from participants in historical
events and a Primary Source Handbook in the reference section of the text. In
addition, each In-Depth Resources book contains primary sources and literature
selections related to each chapter.
Encourage students to compare their experiences with those of the people proled in the text or on the video. Ask them to project how they might feel if they
experienced similar events. Their understanding of historical issues will be
enhanced by this personalized approach.
6. Monitor comprehension. To make sure that students understand what they
are reading, ask them at frequent intervals to summarize what they have just
readorally or in writing. The Section Assessments and the Main Idea questions
occurring in the margins throughout the student edition offer other opportunities
for this kind of informal assessment. In the Teachers Edition, the sections titled
Struggling Readers found at the bottom of some pages also offer helpful
suggestions. Section Quizzes in copymaster form are available in the Formal
Assessment book.
