Come explore Chapter 4 with us! It’s
on “Promoting Comprehension with Engaging Text Features.” Lori calls it the
“glue” that holds informational texts together. (Ch. 1- 3 in previous posts).
Just finished reading this chapter
for the third time and love it even more! Easy and clear lessons cover
predicting, “wonderings,” summarizing, evaluating, visualizing, ranking,
sorting, clarifying, modeling, guided & independent practicing, engaging
students, assessing, using photos, diagrams, etc. & more. Oh my! Have you
tried any of these lessons?
That “Index Hunt” on p. 136 sounds
like so much fun. Visualizing my granddaughter being the “Student Leader” of the
team index hunt brings a smile. Picture your students talking excitedly to their parents
at dinner! (Think we’ll try this at our Contra Costa Book Club tonight. Sure
wish you could join me)!
Thanks for visiting/blogging with us!
