Great idea...and it works sometimes...I do a lot of purpose setting before reading. They often forget the question...even when it is their own question! I have had them write it, discuss it with a friend, I have chunked the text...(read until you find out _________). They really are a tough group. 1/3 are formally diagnosed ADD...a few others could be! :-) Jennifer In a message dated 11/14/2008 7:03:08 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Jennifer, I have learned a great deal from your posts, thank you! As I read your description of the needs of this group I thought about purposes for reading. I'm not familiar with the assessment you are using or the text you are reading. But I wondered would starting with a question to "invite the readers in" help with focusing their thinking on what your goals were for instruction? **************Get movies delivered to your mailbox.
