Reading in the Content Area
1. Reading in the
Content Areas
If Not Me, Then Who?
Title of presentation & some resources swiped from McRel’s Rachel Billmeyer & Mary Lee Barton...
Other credits will be noted on slides and documents.
2. Clock Partners
• If you have not done so already, be sure your
clock is complete.
• How many of us are there? How many hours
will we fill? I.e. If we have 20 participants, we
will not use hours 11:00 and 10:00; so, cross
them out to save confusion.
3. What you need:
• 10:05-10:15 - If you have not completed the survey that is in your
email, please do so yesterday. :)
• 10:05-10:15 - Open the document, “Reading in the Content Areas
PD,” type your name where prompted, and complete the
Expectations portion.
• Your charged computer with the G-T PD Wikispace open to the
Reading page for journaling.
• Be prepared to move around 3-4 times.
• To start, sit next to your 1:00 partner.
• Smile. This is fun.
7. Common Themes
• Student motivation & parent support are no
doubt factors that either make our jobs a little
easier or a little harder, but the fact is that what
we plan, implement, require, and follow-through
with in cadence have far greater influence
than what we cannot control...
• Worrying about the first two variables only
weighs us down and wastes our time.
• We have to play the hand we are dealt.
8. Expectations
• What do you expect students to do?
• If you expect students to be lazy, disregard the
importance of academics, and hand in work late if
at all; if you have settled for less...
• then you are probably going to get what you expect.
• If you expect students to make improvements, take
learning in your classroom seriously, and get work
in with effort and on time...
• then you are probably going to get what you expect.
9. What’s really going on...
When students lack the skills necessary to comprehend what they
are reading, they struggle with text. Over time, this struggle can
lead to their lack of enthusiasm when it comes to reading. Reading
in the content areas involves the use of prior knowledge to connect
what students know to new information being presented. It is also
requires an understanding that authors use patterns to organize
their writing. When students are able to recognize these patterns,
they can more readily comprehend the text, especially if they use a
note taking strategy and a graphic organizer to help them frame
their thinking.
So... ... ... ...What?
10. To blame or not to blame...
The point is that we might be the only positive light in
some of our students’ lives, even if they don’t realize it or
thank you for it now...
It’s what we do with that power that makes the difference.
In preparing for the journey and in recognizing that
students and families have all sorts of baggage, we have
to provide the most structured and smooth learning ride
we possibly can for students to learn how to organize
their education in a way that sets them up for success.
