I would do more structured reading and writing activities in my social studies lessons versus math lessons. I used the idea bookmarks when reading a social studies text when we were studying the Native Americans. They then glued the book mark in their journal next to their text. I would like to incorporate the Cornell Notes activity into my future reading lessons in social studies. For structured writing activities we do a lot of read, write, pair, share, and drawing and writing. I feel that students retain a lot of the information learned when they are able to illustrate it.
In Pre-K, most of the children have limited writing experiences. The first thing I talk about is what is a letter, a word and a sentence and I do a lot of modeling. Then I go into the different types of punctuation and how it sounds when read. Most children learn to write their name first . Once a child shows interest in writing more than his/her name, then I will work with them to write other words and eventually simple sentences.
The "Somebody Wanted But So" strategy looks for helpful for summarizing. I notice that my students have a difficult time summarizing in a concise manner. This will be nice to use to help them understand that they do not have to include every single detail, just the main idea. My students often times participate in the read, write, pair, share strategy. We do this a lot with different texts. I try to allow my students multiple opportunities to work together and share their ideas. i am excited to use other structured reading and writing activities in the classroom.
In the "Topic-Restriction-Illustration Frame Questions" teachers can use this activity for reading and writing expository text. It will help students come closer to finding the main idea of a topic then write a summary, as well as for writing an expository essay to hone in on the most important information. It would offer a great opportunity for the, "I do", "We do", "You do" for struggling students. I use the "Idea Bookmarks" a lot for reading. I like the idea of the Cornell Notes to make students think deeper and finding key words that will help them better understand what they are reading-reflecting.
The STEMscopes Interactive Investigations present structured reading for students. Having done these regularly, students are now familiar with the patterning of the sentence frames for selecting tools and forming a hypothesis, analyzing data and choosing an effective graphic to reflect the data. All of those activities encourage discussion with the sentence frames provided by the program. The conversations reveal students' understanding and show how they are making senses of the texts.
