TAL 404 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Literature Circle
Document Summary
Student team literature: a cooperative approach to teaching literature, designed to strengthen thinking, reading, writing, & social skills. The frayer model: an instructional strategy teachers use for helping students learn new concepts through the use of attributes & nonattributes. Step one: define the concept by giving attributes to the concept. Step two: show students how the concept differs from other concepts (by highlighting non-critical attributes). Step three: provide examples and explain what makes these examples. Step four: provide non-examples and explain what makes these non-examples. Step five: provide the students with examples and non-examples and ask students to determine whether they are examples or non-examples of the target word: give way to remember the concept. Instead of characteristics can put similar but different concept, drawing, etc. Students use written or drawn notes to guide both their reading and discussion digressions, and open-ended questions are welcome.
