SLE Student Report Form

 

"Good readers link ideas, themes and characters from one text with ideas, themes and characters from another text or another media form (e.g. art, film, drama, etc)."

Students must bring the completed Report Form to school on September 5, 2008. On that day, students will use the completed form to compose the written response portion of this project.

Later in the semester, the report form responses and in class essay will be discussed in small faculty/student groups.

You will need to download this file to your computer, fill it in, and then save or print it. Or you can print it and fill it out by hand.

     A GOOD READER’S FRAMEWORK

     
    Like writing, reading is a recursive activity. Students make progress unevenly. Students may read several paragraphs and/or chapters with insight and understanding and then they come to a tougher section where they might decode words without understanding or without their having any insight about what it is they have read.  
     
    The response questions that follow as part of the SLE Report form will provide students with a process for skill building that follow the framework outlined below. Remember:
     
    1. Good readers pause occasionally to take stock of (summarize, paraphrase) what it is they have read.
    2. Good readers create pictures and images in their heads about what it is they have read.
    3. Good readers enter the text by asking question: Who? Why? What? How? When? Where? Etc.
    4. Good readers cite specific details from the text to support their ideas about the text.
    5. Good readers (and reflectors) make reasonable predictions and inferences based upon what they have read.
    6. Good readers link ideas, themes and characters from one text with ideas, themes and characters from another text or another media form (e.g. art, film, drama, etc).
