During-Reading+Strategies


 * During-Reading Strategies**

This is a good use of pre-reading skills. Develop and discuss consensus. Students are actively looking for answers. Question: Looking for evidence that slave trade was justified...4 reasons PRO and CON. Give support for yes or no position. Reflection...though student reflection. Cite evidence to show what students have learned. Elect an individual to represent your position. Develops students who are active, purposeful, and independent learners.
 * Discussion Web**:

Use it as a graphic organizer.

The teacher at the end then asked the students if the lesson was helpful. Most students liked it, they said that they learned more by discussion with other students.

I think that we all would incorporate this strategy into our classrooms. For the standpoint of history or civics, there is always room for discussions for both sides. Every coin has 2 sides.

 * SQ3R**:Survey, question, read, recite, review
 * Survey: Have students look over the reading and get an idea of what they will be reading.
 * Question: Students should have a list of questions that will guide their reading.
 * Read: Read the stuff!
 * Recite: Pair/group up students and have them share their ideas and answers to the questions
 * Review: Go over the questions and reading with the students in a discussion, quiz, or other review method.

A quick video to summarize SQ3R: media type="youtube" key="9hBGfgLujFM" height="349" width="425"

Students mark their notes on post-its throughout their reading. After noting concepts, vocab words, etc that they are unclear on or questions that arise, students then transfer their thoughts onto a t-chart listing: What you understand (+) and What you don't understand (-) to guide comprehension or something similar.
 * Insert Notetaking**:

I might adapt this strategy to have students fill in the t-chart as they go through their reading directly instead of marking in the books. I feel like students would use less time by marking the chart first than copying the information twice. Students could mark the page number that the information is referenced.
