Before Reading:
1. Write an autobiographical reflection in which you recall middle and high school
teachers (no names used) whom you believe were effective and/or ineffective. What
strategies did the teachers use that engaged or disengaged students? Following the
written assignment, divide a chart into two columns: Effective Strategies and
Ineffective Strategies
a. I had a teacher in high school who is still the best professor that I
have ever had in my entire life. His tireless work and effort to groom
us into effective historians was impressive to say the least. He kept
us interested by using discussion based classes and respecting our
views. He made me personally feel very comfortable in his
classroom. He also encouraged us to develop our views and
constantly had us research to make sure our views were backed by
facts and not by false data.
a. My content area is History and to show that you have content literacy is to be
able to analyze documents, form opinions and back those opinions with more
sources. It is very important to integrate the above strategies because of all
the reading materials and analyzation associated with history.
3. Why are you taking this course? What goals do you have for the class, in order to
have a positive experience this semester?
a. I am taking this class because it is required by school but also because I know
the importance of history in class but, don’t know as many strategies to
integrate it in the classroom. My goals are to stay on task at all times and
really focus on implementing my work in the classroom.
While Reading
3. Reread the paragraph on page 21: A Plan for the Improvement of English
Spelling. Describe some of the strategies you used to read this paragraph. How
would both excellent readers and striving readers each attempt to comprehend
this type of academic text?
A. One way the student could take the take and understand it better is
taking it in bit by bit. This will allow to decipher chunks at a time and therefore
have a better grasp of the material.
Hello there,
Do you want your students to become better at all the subjects and improve
your standing? Are you prepared to become the best known and most innovate
administrator in your district? Well, I have the perfect idea for you. It is called
literacy strategies and they will not only improve your student’s life but your
teachers as well.
How do you implement these ideas and use them effectively? The first that
has to be done is that the students have to be able to analyze text. In my content
area, history, this essential. For instance, with historical text, you want the students
to have some previous knowledge. This will allow them to have a better
understanding of the text and will improve their further reading writing. Per say
they are learning about the home front during one of the world wars, it would do
the better to look at images of the home front rather than jumping them in to
reading a diary of a housewife or worker during that time because they could make
a prediction first
Not only will this help the students but it will make your school in general
run much better and make you look even better. The kids will go to higher
education with a leg on the competition because they will be able to analyze text
and it all come back on you because you decided to take the initiative and
implement these strategies.
