Qualitative Demands
Multiple levels of meaning
Implicit purpose
Figurative language / dialect
Complex structure
Sophisticated genre
Background knowledge necessary
![Page 13: Genre as a Series: Finding Predictability in Complex Genres](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568151d2550346895dc00ea5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why?
Increasing the complexity of the text increases student competency with strategy/skill work.
Increased Rigor
The strategy stays the same, but the rigor increases in more demanding text. Exp. Predicting & Summarizing
![Page 14: Genre as a Series: Finding Predictability in Complex Genres](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568151d2550346895dc00ea5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why?
Strategies & skills are more likely to transfer.
Strategies are used when we are stuck
Awareness of the need for strategies increases progressively in more challenging texts
When students see strategies as valuable tools for comprehension, they will be more likely to use those strategies in other contexts (independently).
