This assignment was created with
the intent to use it in our classrooms. Teachers can use this as a resource.
The purpose is to take the steps necessary to help students read, comprehend
and respond to texts. We not only want the students to read the text, we also
want them to think about what they are reading and gather a response to what
they have read. There are certain steps that instructors must take in order to
get them to do this correctly and with ease. Teachers should guide them through
certain steps at the beginning of class.
The template is great because it
has everything there to help an instructor teach the students how to actually
get into a text. For example, even before a text is open, there are certain
pre-reading steps that should be taken. The student should survey the text and
its purpose. They should gather up all that they know about the text before
they even open it. Teachers should hold activities to help the students get
ready for the text ahead. Maybe talking about the purpose of the text as a whole
class, then holding an open discussion about what everyone already knows about
the text.
The template did an awesome job of
outlining what a student should go through while reading any text. As an
instructor, we need to take the necessary steps and activities to help our
students feel as comfortable as possible with a text. It is important to keep
the structure. There are steps to actually understanding what we read, and we
need to bring these steps to the forefront. The instructor needs to be there
when students have questions about the text, they will always have questions
and that is a good thing. Reading the text is not all that matters, we need the
students to accumulate a logical response to the text.
