Separating Fact and Opinion

A  fact  is something that can be proved to be true. For example, it is a fact that there are 12 inches in a foot.

Understanding Definitions

Directions:  One way to understand difficult key terms is to separate the definitions into 3 levels. The easy words you know well are the first level. The key or  bold  word being defined is the third level. Any other words in the definition you don’t understand are the second level. You need to know these second level words in order to understand the definition. See how the definition of  speculation  is separated below.

Screen Shot 2019-08-24 at 3.37.20 PM.png

Collaborative Reading

Directions: You and a partner will take turns reading a section of text. After Person 1 reads, he or she will ask questions about what has been read. Person 1 may look back at the text. However, Person 2 must close the text and respond from memory. Person 1 should ask questions about important, big ideas, not small details. After Person 1 has asked 4-5 questions, Person 2 must summarize, or retell briefly, what was read. At this point partners switch positions and begin the next section. The sheet below allows space for Person 1 to list questions and Person 2 to take notes.

Person 1: Reader/Questioner

______________________________________________________________

Person 2: Responder/Summarizer

Person 1: Reader/Questioner  

You Must Remember This

Directions: Your teacher has identified the most important ideas you should remember from the section of text you are about to read. These ideas have been rewritten as questions for you to answer. The questions go in order with the text. Read all the questions once. Then go back and reread the first question. Underline the most important words in that question. As you read, or listen to the text being read, look for these key terms to help you identify where the answers are.

Listening/Reading Guide

Directions: Your teacher has identified the most important ideas you should remember from the section of text you are about to read. These ideas have been rewritten as questions for you to answer. The questions go in order with the text. Read all the questions once. Circle the most important words in each question. As your teacher reads aloud, look for these key words you have circled. When you see them, put a tab at that point in the book. You will go back later, reread the tabbed section, and write an answer.

What Did I Read? 

Directions: Your teacher is going to read sections of a text to you. Follow along closely as he or she reads. When your teacher stops reading each section, you will have a few minutes to look back at the section and make notes on the spaces below before you are called on for answers.

Page(s) ________ Paragraphs _________

Notes:__________________________________________________

  • ________________________________________________________

Story Impression Guide 

Directions: You and your classmates are going to tell a story using the words below. You will either be called on to use the next word in a sentence that continues the story. Or, you will write the next sentence of the story using the next word as a page is passed on to you. If you are writing the story, be sure to read carefully what others have written so that your sentence will make sense when you add it.

Sentence Synthesis

Directions: The four key words below come from the section you have just read. See if you can write one sentence that uses all four words and summarizes the section.

Section: _________ Page(s) ________ Paragraphs _________

  • ________________________________________________

Summary Sentence:

___________________________________________________

Directions: The first paragraph below can be summarized. In other words, the paragraph can be rewritten in a shorter form and still give all the most important ideas. Read first the paragraph below. Then see how the second paragraph at the bottom of the page summarizes the first paragraph. Figure out what key ideas have been left out and fill them in on the second paragraph.

Paragraph 1:

Paragraph 2:

Survey : Look at the titles, headings, pictures, graphs, charts, and bold words in the text. Predict 4 things you think you will learn.

  • _________________________________________________

Question : Turn each of the headings and subheadings into questions. Write these in the left hand column below, one question per space. Also write in any  bold  vocabulary words you find. Do not fill in the answers now.

Read:  Go back and read the text. As you find the answers to the questions or definitions to the key words, write these down in the right-hand column.

Recite:  Pair up with a partner. Check your answers to see if you agreed. If you disagree on an answer, go back to the text and find the correct response. Then, write a short summary  in your own words  of the text.

Summary:  _________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________

Review:  With your partner or alone, cover the answer section of your paper with another sheet of paper. Practice answering the questions or defining the words without looking at your responses.

Structural Indexing

Directions: Use the grid below to place key terms from the section of text. Students will create sentences using the words in the order in which they appear on the grid going across, down, and diagonally. Once the sentences are created, have students in PODS or pairs check the accuracy of each other’s sentences.

Screen Shot 2019-08-24 at 7.53.17 PM.png

Directed Reading Sequence

Directions: The Directed Reading Sequence is a dialog based “during” reading activity. On this page, the teacher should indicate the sections of the text where the activity will be “dropped in” to the instruction. Also provide an example of an appropriate “squeeze” statement of what the PODS or groups will produce.

Page # __________

First Phrase: _________________________ Last Phrase: _________________________

Sample Squeeze:

_______________________________________________________________________

Fact Storm Question Sheet

Directions: When designing a Fact Storm activity, it is best to come up with questions that could be used with the Q Matrix. Some of the questions will be from the lower domains of the comprehension hierarchy, but at least one question generated by the teacher should reflect higher order thinking, such as analysis, synthesis, generalization, or critical evaluation. Use this sheet to create some model questions for students.

Lower Order Questions: (what, why, who, when, where, etc.)

Higher Order Questions: (what would, how would, what could, design, classify, analyze, evaluate)
