Application of the Reading Process

 

From your discussion board prompts/readings and the training you received in July, you are ready to start applying some comprehension strategies using 3 of the books from your text set.  This task provides you with a list of on-line and print resources (including your notes and handouts from the 3-day seminar in July).  To prepare for this task, please read the following article:

What do I do for Task 2?

Write 1 lesson plan EACH for three of the books in your text set (you will submit THREE lesson plans total written on THREE different books from the KAELI text set).

Follow these procedures to construct your lessons:

  1. Select and read three books from your text set noting the following questions by completing the data response sheet located HERE.   This is just an informal and OPTIONAL pre-planning form for your notes.  You do NOT have to type this page, nor do you need to turn it in to your instructor.
        
        (NOTE:  The resource table below links to a multitude of ideas for pre/during/post strategies.  USE THEM!)
     

  2. Click here to develop "fill-in-the-space lesson plans" that describe the active strategies you would use as you work with adult learners to ensure deep comprehension of each book.
     

  3. TEACH at least ONE of the lesson plans and fill in the "reflection" section of the lesson plan form.
