Instructional Process

First •Guiding Principles of a Technology Toolkit

Second •Examples of software and

applications

Third •Application to Content Literacy Strategies

Page 4: SPE 424 CTEL at Poly

Principles of Technology Toolkits Instead of remediating students so

that they can learn from a set curriculum, curriculum should be made flexible to accommodate learner differences.

Premises Technology use supports curriculum access for

diverse learners

Technology should follow the instructional task and should be readily available to all students.

Teachers should have enough technology access to quickly deploy such tools as needed

Teachers cannot recommend technology that they are not aware of

Content Literacy StrategiesWhat are they? Instructional practices that braid reading, writing, and

thinking with content material from the disciplines

Instructional practices that teach students independent strategic reading and writing processes for content area learning

Teacher modeled and prompted

Student initiated

Page 24: SPE 424 CTEL at Poly

Overarching Premises of Content Literacy

Learning the content of the disciplines, such as science and math, is as much about learning to read, write, and talk about the content as it is learning the concepts and facts.

Academic literacy and disciplinary knowledge are inseparable.

Therefore, teaching reading, writing, and thinking skills in the disciplines is teaching the disciplines

Goals of Readiness Phase of a Lesson Activate and build relevant prior knowledge for

text topics about to be read and studied

Set meaningful purposes for reading and learning

Engender interest and motivation for reading and learning

Begin with an engaging learning experience that can be sustained throughout the lesson

Page 28: SPE 424 CTEL at Poly

Reading Engagement The “will” to read along with the skill of

reading

Many youth know how to read but choose not to—aliteracy

Indicators: (a) Attitude toward reading; (b) time spent reading; (c ) variety of texts read

28Brozo09

Page 29: SPE 424 CTEL at Poly

Two Readiness Strategies• Opinionnaire/Anticipation Guide

activates prior knowledge of text topics and helps students set purposes for reading and learning by having them respond to statements before and after an information source

• SQPL (Student Questions for Purposeful Learning)promotes purposeful reading and learning by prompting students to ask and answer their own questions about content

DIRECTIONS: Read each statement carefully and decide whether you Agree or Disagree with it, placing a check mark in the appropriate Before Reading column. When finished reading, decide whether your Anticipations need to be changed by placing a check mark in the appropriate After Reading column.

Before Reading After Reading Agree Disagree Agree Disagree

1. A great deal of petroleum is used to make Styrofoam. ___ ___ ___ ___

2. The main ingredient of Styrofoam is plastic. ___ ___ ___ ___

3. Chlorofluorocarbons, once used in making Styrofoam, were found to enrich the ozonelayer. ___ ___ ___ ___

4. Styrofoam cups cost much more than paper cups. ___ ___ ___ ___ 5. Recycling of Styrofoam now equals that of paper. ___ ___ ___ ___

DIRECTIONS: Read each statement carefully about The Greedy Triangle and decide whether you Agree or Disagree with it. If you agree circle thumbs up. If you disagree, circle thumbs down. Do this first before we read the story. Then do it again during and after we read the story. Be ready to say why you circled either thumbs up or thumbs down.

Before Reading After Reading Agree Disagree Agree Disagree

1. The greedy triangle wasn’t really greedy.

2. Every time the greedy triangle adds a sidehe gets a new name.

3. The greedy triangle adds so many sideshe becomes a circle.

4. The greedy triangle likes being a trianglethe most.

Page 32: SPE 424 CTEL at Poly

32

ANTICIPATION GUIDES & OPINIONNAIRES

1. Generate Statements Related to the Content to be Presented, focusingon aspects of the content you want students to learn andremember

2. Give the Statements to Students in a Format That Allows Them toConsider Whether the Statements are True/False, Whetherthey agree or disagree, or That Stimulate Students to Take a Position

3. Discuss Student Anticipations and Opinions

4. Provide Lesson Material

5. Pause Regularly so Students Can Reconsider Initial Anticipationsand Opinions

Anticipation Guide Process AFTER EVERY STUDENT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADD A

QUESTION TO THE TOTAL, THE MATH TEACHER DREW THE CLASS'S ATTENTION TO THOSE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME, AND ADDED STARS NEXT TO THOSE QUESTIONS.

SOME QUESTIONS, SUCH AS HOW DO YOU MEASURE THE SIZE OF THE EARTH? HAD FIVE STARS, SINCE AT LEAST FIVE SEPARATE PAIRS OF STUDENTS CAME UP WITH THE SAME OR HIGHLY SIMILAR QUESTION.

ANOTHER QUESTION, WHY IS THE SHADOW SO IMPORTANT? WAS REPEATED FOUR TIMES, AND HOW DO MATHEMATICIANS MEASURE THE EARTH TODAY? HAD THREE STARS.

SQPL – STUDENT QUESTIONS FOR PURPOSEFUL LEARNING

1. Present Students with a Thought-Provoking Prompt

2. Allow Students to Pair Up and Brainstorm Questions Based on the Prompt

3. Elicit Students’ Questions and Write Them on the Board, Overhead,or Computer

4. Prepare Students for the Presentation of the Information Source byTelling Them to Answer as Many of Their Questions as Possible

5. Provide Information

6. Gather Students’ Responses to Their Questions

Our Questions about this statement

A. Where does it say this in the Constitution? The Constitution doesn't say anything about the Internet but

gives everyone freedom of speech in the Bill of Rights. This means I can look at anything I want to on the Internet. In some countries like North Korea, people can only go to certain places on the Internet. The government controls what they can see and read

Split Page Notes for The Greedy Triangle

Story beginsThe greedy triangle wants to become other shapes

Different shapes he becomes: quadrilateral 4 sided –a checkerboard, a computer screen pentagon 5 sided—a baseball diamond, a section on a soccer ball

hexagon 6 sided—honeycomb of a bees nest

Problem after greedy triangle has more than 10 sides (decagon+) he loses balance and rolls down the hill

Resolution greedy triangle turns back into a triangle

SPLIT PAGE NOTETAKING

AS A NOTE TAKING METHOD IT HAS MANY ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER METHODS:

A) IT IS LOGICALLY ORGANIZED

B) IT HELPS LEARNERS SEPARATE BIG IDEAS FROM SUPPORTING DETAILS

C) IT ALLOWS FOR INDUCTIVE AND DEDUCTIVE PROMPTING

AND RECALL

Brozo09

Page 44: SPE 424 CTEL at Poly

SPLIT PAGE NOTETAKING

STEPS

1. USE 8 1/2" BY 11" LINED PAPER  2. WITH A RULER OR SOME OTHER STRAIGHT EDGE,

DRAW A LINE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM ON EACH PAGE APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2" FROM THE LEFT MARGIN. TRY TO SPLIT THE PAGE INTO ONE-THIRD/TWO-THIRDS.

 3. WRITE BIG IDEAS, KEY DATES, NAMES, ETC. IN THE

LEFT COLUMN AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION IN THE RIGHT COLUMN. PARAPHRASE AND ABBREVIATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

 4. PROMPT RECALL BY BENDING THE SHEET SO THAT

INFORMATION IN THE RIGHT OR LEFT COLUMNS IS COVERED.

WORD GRIDS

Build a grid in which essential vocabulary is listed on

vertical axis of the grid and major features, characteristics, or important ideas are listed on the horizontal axis.

Students fill in the grid, indicating the extent to which

the key words possess the stated features or are related to important ideas.

Once the grid is completed, students are led to discover

both the shared and unique characteristics of the vocabulary words. Brozo09

RAFT from 9th Grade BiologyR ole - Blood Cell; Audience – X-Boy friend; Format – Letter; Topic – Journey through the Heart

Dear John:

This is the last time I’m going to write you. Today, I fell in love with another. It started out just like any other day. I just got done visiting my old friend, Mr. Finger. I was exhausted, so I went to the heart—the romantic place.

I entered the inferior Vena Cava and I was so faint. When I was pushed into the right ventricle, I must have fainted. I thought I was a goner. Then someone grabbed me and helped me through the pulmonary artery. He swept me off my feet and into the lungs. I felt myself come back to life. We raced back through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. After leaving the aorta, I knew we were meant to be, and you and I weren’t. Maybe I will see you around.

RAFT WRITING EXAMPLE

Dear Jack,

I would like to introduce myself. I am vitamin D. I am found in many dairy products such as milk and cheese. I promise if you eat me, you will have strong bones and teeth. I can even help you to grow old and be a healthier person. Have you seen the television commercial for milk? That commercial is all about me. I am the reason milk is so good. So, I recommend that you eat foods that contain me. I also recommend that you drink milk. If you do these things, I will do my best to help you.

Sincerely,

Vitamin D

Dearest Lady Capulet,Please do not throw this letter away! I am pouring out of my heart to ask you to see beyond a name and recognize my love for your amazing daughter, Juliet.I know you think I am just a dirty Montague, but there’s more to me than my name. Isn’t it time the ancient feud between our families be put to rest? The love Juliet and I have can heal the wounds our families have caused each other. I just want to love and cherish Juliet and take care of her the rest of our lives. She is more beautiful than a rose in May. Please let me love her or I shall die.

Your humble servant,

Romeo Montague

RAFT WRITING EXAMPLE

7 May, 1915 - 14:12 GMT - Kinsale Head, IrelandAttacked today. German U-boat #20. Torpedoed amidship between the boilers and coal room. Panic everywhere and sinking fast. My orders are to prepare lifeboats and rafts for the women and children first, but these are ignored. I watch helplessly while everyone, including cowardly men, fight their way into whatever will float. Within minutes, a second explosion, maybe another torpedo or perhaps the coal dust ignited. At this point it hardly mattered. We were listing hard to starboard. Within the hour she was lost and so were the souls of 1,198 of my passengers and crew, including 138 Americans. Something mustbe done to stop the submarine threat and the wanton destructionof unarmed non-military vessels. Maybe Mr. Wilson and hiscountrymen will now join the fray. I pray they must.WT Turner

Special Powers We have been reading about how snow forms in clouds. You have the power to change that process. What could happen as a result of your change?

Problem Solving In Snow Day the author presents many problems people face when a snowstorm hits their city. Write as many solutions to these problems as you can imagine.

Alternative Viewpoints

We have been learning about how people cope with snowstorms. Tell a snowstorm story as though you were a snowflake.

What If? In Katy and the Big Snow, Katy is asked to clear the entire city of snow. What would happen if Katy broke down or got stuck in the snow? When writing, think of how dependent the people of the city of Geoppolis were on Katy’s snow plowing ability.

Next We have been learning about the effect of global warming on melting glaciers. What do you think will be the next effect of the shrinking ice caps?

SPAWN Prompts for

Hamlet SPECIAL POWERS

You have given Hamlet special powers to read the mind of the devious Polonius. What would he know and how would that change his actions? What would happen as a result of Hamlet’s change?

PROBLEM SOLVINGHamlet is confronted by a central problem: How

does he keep from committing murder even while he knows his father has been murdered by Claudius? What could he do to reconcile his feelings?

ALTERNATIVE VIEWPOINTSRetell the events of Hamlet’s father’s death

from King Claudius’ point of view. What does he see and do? How does he rationalize his behavior?
