s



and telling.
st



2. Teachers need to understand how standards impact planning for content area instruction.

discover, organize, retrieve, and elaborate on information and ideas they encounter in content learning
uv



situations.

engaged or disengaged students? Following the written assignment, divide a chart into two columns: Effective
Strategies and Ineffective Strategies. Have the students share their autobiographical reflections by contributing
memories under each column. Use the entries as a springboard for discussion.

2. As an alternative to activity number one, provide the students with a think-sheet entitled: Autobiographical
Reflective Activity. The following directions can be used: From your earliest childhood memories of school, up
to (and including) your high school recollections, use your brain for this exercise: First, quickly scan this list of
content areas in which you have recollections and select three subject areas. Circle those areas.

Art

Science

Mathematics

Music

Health

Social Studies/History

Physical Education

Computer Sciences

English Literature

Foreign Language

Business

Psychology/Sociology

Second, think about those memories from a student perspective: What are your memories? Think about the
positive memories and the negative ones. What did your teachers say, do, assign? How did they influence your
@



attitude toward the subject? What did they do that you recall in a positive way? In a negative way?

3. Have students define the key terms. Use their responses to these questions as a pre-assessment tool to determine
students' prior knowledge about the topics to be covered in the chapter.
Ap



4. Have students work in small groups to complete an anticipation guide using the statements listed below. When
they have completed their small-group activity, convene the whole class for a discussion of small-group
responses.

Statements:
lu




○ Reading instruction in middle and secondary schools is unnecessary.

○ Content area teachers should expect students to read their textbooks.
s




○ Content area teachers should teach their students how to study.
st




○ The primary role of the content area teacher is to teach subject matter.
uv



○ It is important to students to learn how to think and evaluate the usefulness of texts.

During Reading

5. Provide students with a template or graphic organizer that reflects the characteristics of good readers. For each
characteristic, students should record instructional ideas that would either explicitly teach or support students'
development of each quality while interacting with content area texts.

5. While reading the chapter, ask students to consider how learning their content requires students to participate in
each of the strands of literacy: reading, writing, talking, and viewing.

After Reading/In the Field

6. Instruct the students to interview a content area teacher on effective teaching strategies that he or she uses to
engage students in learning. Students may share their findings in small-group or whole-class discussions.

7. Instruct the students to interview a content area teacher on how he or she motivates students to read text
material. Students may share their findings in small groups.

8. Divide the class into groups according to the content area that each student is preparing to teach.

9. Have students bring to class a different sample of text used in their content area. Ask the students to brainstorm
questions they might ask their own students in order to encourage those students to respond to the material from
both an efferent and an aesthetic stance.

10. Require students to find the standards for the content area and grade level they most want to teach. Put them in
small groups to compare and contrast them.
