This week, we are looking at reading comprehension strategies to use in your social studies lessons. We have already learned a bunch of strategies - paraphrasing, visualizing, activating prior knowledge, and pre-teaching vocabulary. Let's look at a few more this week.
This week's instructions are simple.
Listen to the recording (Reading Comprehension Strategies in Social Studies).
Glance at the handout.
Complete the assignment in the Assignment module.
After you have watched the video, you may complete this assignment.
In the video, I discuss 5 different reading comprehension strategies to use in a social studies lesson: previewing the text, setting goals for reading, making predictions, making connections, and summarizing (using the Shrinking Summary method). Pretend you are the teacher designing a social studies lesson plan with an in-text component. Choose one reading comprehension strategy from the list above and explain how you will incorporate it into your lesson plan.
Your paper must include:
- Topic: The topic of your social studies lesson
- Grade Level: Which grade is this lesson for?
- Objective: State your social studies objective - the skill students will be learning. Make it specific and measurable.
- Learning Experience: Description of the learning activities - what the teacher and students will do, guided practice, individual work, etc. Remember to incorporate a text together with a comprehension strategy into the activities.
- Strategy: The reading comprehension skill used and an explanation of why this strategy is the right one for your lesson
This paper does not have to be written in APA style; however, it must look college-appropriate.
You should format your paper in the five bullet points above (topic, grade level, objective, learning experience, and strategy).
Your paper should contain no grammar or spelling mistakes.
For this assignment, you may do any grade from Pre-K to Grade 4.
You may not use a lesson plan from the Internet; this learning experience must be your original concept.
