Re: [MOSAIC] setting a purpose for reading
The House The two boys ran until they came to the driveway. "See, I told you today was good for skipping school," said Mark. "Mom is never home on Thursday," he added. Tall hedges hid the house from the road so the pair strolled across the finely landscaped yard. "I never knew your place was so big," said Pete. "Yeah, but it's nicer now than it used to be since Dad had the new stone siding put on and added the fireplace." There were front and back doors and a side door which led to the garage which was empty except for three parked 10 speed bikes. They went in the side door, Mark explaining that it was always open in case his younger sisters got home earlier than their mother. Pete wanted to see the house so Mark started with the living room. It, like the rest of the downstairs, was newly painted. Mark turned on the stereo, the noise of which worried Pete. "Don't worry, the nearest house is a quarter mile away," Mark shouted. Pete felt more comfortable observing that no houses could be seen in any direction beyond the huge yard. The dining room, with all the china, silver, and cut glass, was no place to play so the boys moved into the kitchen where they made sandwiches. Mark said they wouldn't go to the basement because it had been damp and musty ever since the new plumbing had been installed. "This is where my Dad keeps his famous paintings and his coin collection," Mark said as they peered into the den. Mark bragged that he could get spending money whenever he needed it since he'd discovered that his Dad kept a lot in the desk drawer. There were three upstairs bedrooms. Mark showed Pete his mother's closet which was filled with furs and the locked box which held her jewels. His sisters' room was uninteresting except for the color TV which Mark carried to his room. Mark bragged that the bathroom in the hall was his since one had been added to his sisters' room for their use. The big highlight in his room, though, was a leak in the ceiling where the old roof had finally rotted. Tovani (2000), p. 26. Hand out a copy of these paragraphs to every student. Then: 1. Ask students to read the piece and circle with their pencil whatever they think is important. 2. Ask students to read the piece again and this time use a pink highlighter to mark places in the text a robber would find important. 3. Have the students read the piece a third time. Ask them to mark with a yellow highlighter any places in the story that a prospective home buyer might think are important. 4. Ask students what they notice about the three times they highlighted. Point out that the first time was probably the hardest, because they didn't have a purpose. 5. On a projected transparency, jot down what students think is important for the robber and for the homebuyer. Compare the two lists and discuss why each item is important. If an item is on both lists, discuss why both a robber and a home buyer would find it important. p. 26. Once students see the importance of establishing a purpose when they read, it's time to teach them different purposes for reading. Access tools are specific materials and strategies that help students organize and synthesize their thoughts as they read. They make material more accessible. Students of all grade levels can use these tools with almost any type of material. They'll quickly figure out which tool works best for their particular purpose. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stef Rann Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 8:01 AM To: 'Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Listserv' Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] setting a purpose for reading I would also love a copy of this Cheers Stef HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] cywo rkshop.org] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 21, 2006 9:50 PM To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension StrategiesListserv Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] setting a purpose for reading I would love a copy of this - Thanks so much for the offer!!
