engaged or disengaged students? Following the written assignment, divide a chart into two columns: Effective Strategies and Ineffective Strategies. Have the students share their autobiographical reflections by contributing memories under each column. Use the entries as a springboard for discussion. 2.

As an alternative to activity number one, provide the students with a think-sheet entitled: Autobiographical Reflective Activity. The following directions can be used: From your earliest childhood memories of school, up to (and including) your high school recollections, use your brain for this exercise: First, quickly scan this list of content areas in which you have recollections and select three subject areas. Circle those areas. Art Science Mathematics Music Health Social Studies/History Physical Education Computer Sciences English Literature Foreign Language Business Psychology/Sociology Second, think about those memories from a student perspective: What are your memories? Think about the positive memories and the negative ones. What did your teachers say, do, assign? How did they influence your attitude toward the subject? What did they do that you recall in a positive way? In a negative way?

Have students define the key terms. Use their responses to these questions as a pre-assessment tool to determine students' prior knowledge about the topics to be covered in the chapter.

Have students work in small groups to complete an anticipation guide using the statements listed below. When they have completed their small-group activity, convene the whole class for a discussion of small-group responses. Statements: ○

Reading instruction in middle and secondary schools is unnecessary.

○

Content area teachers should expect students to read their textbooks.

○

Content area teachers should teach their students how to study.

○

The primary role of the content area teacher is to teach subject matter.

○

It is important to students to learn how to think and evaluate the usefulness of texts.

Chapter 1: Literacy Matters

During Reading 5.

Provide students with a template or graphic organizer that reflects the characteristics of good readers. For each characteristic, students should record instructional ideas that would either explicitly teach or support students' development of each quality while interacting with content area texts.

While reading the chapter, ask students to consider how learning their content requires students to participate in each of the strands of literacy: reading, writing, talking, and viewing.

After Reading/In the Field 6.

Instruct the students to interview a content area teacher on effective teaching strategies that he or she uses to engage students in learning. Students may share their findings in small-group or whole-class discussions.

Instruct the students to interview a content area teacher on how he or she motivates students to read text material. Students may share their findings in small groups.

Divide the class into groups according to the content area that each student is preparing to teach.

Have students bring to class a different sample of text used in their content area. Ask the students to brainstorm questions they might ask their own students in order to encourage those students to respond to the material from both an efferent and an aesthetic stance.

10. Require students to find the standards for the content area and grade level they most want to teach. Put them in small groups to compare and contrast them.

Purpose The purpose of this chapter is to explore how new literacies can be integrated across content area subjects.

Underlying Concepts 1.

New literacies offer students a variety of interesting and relevant experiences with texts that can be used to enhance content area learning.

Emerging information and communication technologies (ICT) require the application of strategic knowledge, skills, and insights, as well as the ability to use reading and writing to learn.

Blogs, vlogs, wikis, websites, and online threaded discussions are interactive tools that can enhance communication about content area topics and foster socially mediated learning.

Internet inquiries can create an instructional framework for engaging students in consistently scheduled inquiry and collaborative learning.

Student Objectives 1.

Students will articulate a rationale for using new literacies in content area classrooms.

Students will understand the meaning of the term new literacies and how those literacies affect content learning.

Students will understand that learning how to adapt to continuously changing technologies is more critical than knowing any particular ICT.

Pre-service teachers will be able to apply various types of instructional strategies that help students learn using the Internet.

Students will understand the value of blended learning environments.

Shared document spaces Threaded discussion WebQuests Wikis and websites

Activities and Discussion Questions Before Reading 1.

Have the students brainstorm ways they have observed teachers using new literacies. Have the students classify their observations as effective or ineffective. Discuss the factors that contribute to the use of new literacies being effective or ineffective.

Allow students time to discuss their experiences with new literacies. Are the experiences that they recall positive or negative? How could negative experiences have been altered to provide a positive learning experience?

The authors suggest that, "New literacies have transformed the way we read, write, think, communicate, and make meaning." Discuss this statement and its implications for education.

During Reading 4.

Ask students to select three sites pertaining to their content area of interest and evaluate each site's usefulness for enhancing the content area curriculum.

As students read the beginning of the chapter, have them generate a list of reasons for using new literacies to enhance content area learning.

Based on what they are learning in the chapter about strategies for online learning, have the students brainstorm ways in which the effectiveness of these electronic resources could be enhanced.

Challenge students to design an Internet inquiry based on a content area topic of study.

After Reading/In the Field 8.

Ask each student to select a topic of interest within his or her content area and locate websites related to that topic. Require each student to compile an annotated bibliography of those websites to be shared with classmates who are preparing to teach the same content area.

Require students to design an Internet Inquiry project for their content area of interest that adheres to the considerations listed in the textbook.

10.

Have students design a WebQuest for a topic related to their content area of interest. Each WebQuest component (introduction, task, process, resources, learning advice, and conclusion) should be included in the design.

11.

Challenge students to explore the electronic book venues suggested in the chapter. Each student should compile a list of annotated sources from these venues that are relevant to his or her content area of interest. Resources may be shared with classmates.

Chapter 2: Learning with New Literacies

12.

Pair students and have them select a topic of interest to search on the web. Ask each student begin with the same website and subsequently locate information independently, documenting each step and link selected. Following the web search, pairs should compare and contrast how they went about the search. Use this activity to discuss how to implement web inquiry with middle or high school students.

13.

Using a smart panel or projection system, demonstrate how to conduct a web search on a topic of interest by using a variation of the think aloud strategy. Talk as you conduct the search, modeling your reasoning for selecting particular links.

14.

Have pre-service teachers interview middle school or high school students about their use of electronic texts. Use the information obtained from the interviews to discuss with other pre-service colleagues the types of skills and strategies students need to possess in order to use electronic resources effectively.

Activities and Discussion Questions Before Reading 1.

Use the following quote from the chapter to discuss instructional approaches to culturally and linguistically diverse learners: "Teachers reach diverse learners by scaffolding instruction in ways that support content literacy and learning."

Chapter 3: Culturally Responsive Teaching in Diverse Classrooms

Ask pre-service teachers to recall their own field experiences in which culturally or linguistically diverse learners were part of a classroom. How did these students participate in the class? How did the teacher respond? Were modifications made for them? If so, describe the nature of those modifications.

Lead a discussion about the following statement from the chapter: "Language and culture are inextricably connected." What are the implications of this statement for classroom practice?

During Reading 4.

Use the following quote from the chapter to discuss the significance of cultural background: "It is crucially important to be aware that students from diverse cultural backgrounds bring different ways of knowing, different styles of questioning, and different patterns of interaction to school."

After Reading/In the Field 5.

Ask students to interview a teacher about the strategies he or she uses to meet the needs of students with cultural or linguistic differences within the classroom. Students should share their findings with their classmates.

Have pre-service teachers demonstrate a variety of activities that can help their students to formulate nonlinguistic representations, such as graphic representations, pictures, mental images, physical and technological models, and kinesthetic activities. Explain how activities such as these can be helpful to culturally or linguistically diverse learners.

Challenge pre-service teachers to observe a bilingual or ESL program. Their observations and reflections of the program should be recorded in a journal and shared with classmates through small-group or whole-group discussions.

Have students develop a rubric that will allow them to self-assess their own progress in developing an environment for culturally responsive instruction in their own classroom.

Purpose The purpose of this chapter is to develop the understanding that instructional assessment is a continuous process of gathering relevant information from multiple sources for instructional purposes.

Underlying Concepts 1.

Unlike formal, high-stakes testing, authentic assessment allows teachers to make qualitative decisions about students' strengths and needs in reading and learning content area subjects.

Standardized reading tests reveal how a student compares to other students or to a pre-established criterion on a single performance. Authentic assessment practices provide ongoing information about student performance in meaningful instructional settings.

While the use of high-stakes testing has proliferated in recent years, issues and concerns about the use of such testing have been raised.

Portfolio assessment is based on the purposeful collection of student performance samples and provides teachers and students with information on achievement, effort, and progress over time. 12 Copyright © 2021 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Chapter 4: Assessing Students and Texts

Assessing the difficulty of text material and how students interact with text are important components of the assessment process.

Student Objectives 1.

Students will appreciate assessment as an aid to setting instructional goals.

Students will understand how formal, high-stakes assessment differs from informal, authentic assessment.

Students will understand the rationale behind the use of high-stakes testing as well as the issues and concerns surrounding this practice.

Students will understand the ways in which policymakers have played an increasingly active role in setting standards and assessing student performance.

Students will be able to articulate the advantages of ongoing assessment that occurs in the natural context of the classroom.

Students will understand the processes that content area teachers can use to implement portfolio assessment.

Students will understand the role of student self-assessment and techniques for facilitating self-assessment.

Students will be able to design different forms of assessment rubrics.

Students will be able to assess the difficulty of textbooks using a variety of techniques.

Activities and Discussion Questions Before Reading 1.

Have students brainstorm ways in which they have been assessed by teachers or situations in which they have been asked to assess themselves. List responses. Elicit discussion on students' positive and negative responses to these practices.

Working in small groups, have students discuss their understanding of authentic versus high-stakes assessment. Have each group design a visual aid/presentation to share with the class that represents their understanding of the two forms of assessment. Discuss the similarities and differences among the groups' interpretations.

Ask students to brainstorm artifacts that might be included in a portfolio. Discuss the meaning of authentic assessment based on students' responses.

During Reading 4.

Obtain copies of standardized test results and have students examine the information in small groups. Use the tests as a reference for the following terms: norms, percentile scores, stanine scores, and grade-equivalent scores.

Let students role-play a parent–teacher conference in which the teacher explains the results of a student's performance on a standardized reading test.

Challenge students to obtain information from popular media sources (i.e., newspapers, television newscasts, and magazines) on legislation and policy incentives related to literacy education; then have students discuss their findings, connecting the findings to corresponding sections of the chapter.

After examining the examples of the types of materials that might be included in a portfolio, have students work in small groups to design a list of artifacts they would include in a portfolio based on a content area of their choice. Encourage adaptations of the examples provided in the textbook.

Using the readability graph in the textbook, have students assess the readability level of a content area textbook of their choice. How close was the readability level to the grade level for which the content area textbook was intended?

Have students work in teams to simulate a textbook review committee and ask them to evaluate three content area textbooks. After completing the evaluation, have each team present the book with the highest rating to the class and explain why the book should be purchased. Ask them to include the factors they considered when making their selections. 14 Copyright © 2021 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Chapter 4: Assessing Students and Texts

10. As they read the chapter, have students keep a vocabulary journal with new terms and concepts that they encounter, such as stanine scores and norms. Along with the terms, have students record information such as what each word is related to, where it was found, its definition, and an example of its use.

After Reading/In the Field 11. 13. Request that students role-play state legislators discussing the merits of and concerns about high-stakes testing. Students should be divided into two groups: one group should present the arguments for instituting or maintaining a high-stakes testing program; the second group should present reasons for opposing or modifying high-stakes testing. After each group has had time to prepare their positions, those positions can be presented in a debate or discussion format. 12. Have students work collaboratively to draft a letter to their state or federal representatives explaining how current policies on high-stakes testing have influenced their classroom instruction. Require that they suggest alternatives to current high-stakes testing practices. 13. Require each student to conduct an interview with a classroom teacher on how the current educational policy decisions and/or high-stakes testing requirements have impacted his or her teaching practices. Share the interview results in class and discuss the results in the context of assessment practices and policy information presented in the chapter. 14. Have students draft a letter to families that explains the use of portfolios as an assessment tool. The purpose of portfolio use, contents, and utility should all be addressed in the letter. 15. Research standards and testing policies, including the evolution of those policies and practices, for a particular state. Present findings to the class. 16. Using a content area book of his or her choice, have each pre-service teacher design a rubric that can be used to evaluate student performance of the assignment.

Vocabulary and Key Terms B-D-A instructional framework Collaborative interactions Cooperative learning Group investigation Guided discussion Inquiry/research emphasis Jigsaw groups Learning circles Positive interdependence Student Teams Achievement Divisions Units of study

Activities and Discussion Questions Before Reading 1.

Have students recall collaborative learning activities in which they have participated. What aspects of these activities do they recall positively? What aspects were not useful to them? How might these experiences influence their own approach to engaging their students in collaborative interactions?

Have students recall thematic units of study from their own school experience. What are their recollections of what they were asked to do as part of these studies? How did they respond? What did they learn?

Chapter 5: Planning Instruction for Content Literacy

During Reading 3.

As students examine the sample text lessons in the chapter, ask them to develop adaptations of these lessons for their own classrooms or for different content areas.

Using the guidelines in the chapter, organize students in small groups to prepare an inquiry project on a topic relevant to their content area. As they present the project proposals to the class, discuss any challenges they encountered in compiling the project proposal. Brainstorm ideas for solving the problems.

Have students note the contexts in which they have observed or participated in inquiry-based units. Ask them to recall the types of texts used to facilitate development of these units. Discuss their recollections and reflections in class.

After Reading/In the Field 1.

Require each student to visit a classroom to observe the context for learning in that classroom. Students' field notes should include details about the classroom discourse. Reflective learning logs can be used to record observations. Follow-up discussion can be scheduled when the observations are complete.

Invite a team of teachers who teach an integrated curriculum or thematic units to participate in a panel discussion (or engage in synchronous or asynchronous electronic interactions) in which they share the planning and implementation process of these units with the class. Have students prepare questions that they wish to ask these teachers about the use of thematic units.

Working in small groups, ask students to select one of the lesson examples in the chapter and develop alternative before reading, after reading, and during reading activities for that lesson.

Have students brainstorm a broad topic of interest that they would like to investigate (e.g., chocolate, vintage automobiles, a historical event). Hold class in the library and allow students a short amount of time to locate as much information as they can find on their topic. Gather students in an area of the library to share their resources and strategies for locating these resources. Ask them how they would use this experience to prepare their own students to conduct research on a given topic. Also consider allowing students to search online and compile those resources.

Ask each student to bring a content area text relate to their field of study to class. Each student should examine several chapters of the book and select something of interest from those chapters that could be used to motivate students to read the chapter and extend their understanding of the subject in focus. Have students work in small groups to brainstorm how they would engage their own students in collaborative interactions that would extend their knowledge of the chosen topic.

Pair each student with a partner from a different content area. Together, have them design an interdisciplinary lesson on a topic of their choice that integrates material from both of their content areas.

Chapter 6: Activating Prior Knowledge and Interest

Purpose The purpose of this chapter is to provide teachers with meaningful learning activities that will activate students' background knowledge, pique their interest, and raise their expectations about content area reading so that they will read with purpose and anticipation.

Underlying Concepts 1.

Arousing curiosity and interest in students is a crucial component of engaging students with content texts.

It is important to help students learn content through activities that allow them to anticipate and predict what they will learn.

Before-reading activities that engage students in asking questions are an effective way to help students develop purposes and motivation for reading text.

Developing a high level of self-efficacy motivates students to apply the skills and strategies that they have acquired to literacy learning situations.

Student Objectives 1.

Students will understand why before-reading strategies that activate prior knowledge and raise interest in the subject prepare readers to approach a text in a critical frame of mind.

Students will understand the type of experiences that constitute meaningful learning activities.

Chapter 6: Activating Prior Knowledge and Interest

Activities and Discussion Questions Before Reading 1.

Group students to brainstorm reading strategies that they can use when they read to learn new information. Use their comments to discuss ways to engage readers in content area reading.

Ask students to think about topics that they enjoy reading. In an autobiographical format, have students write a reflection on what motivates them to read about these topics. Allow them to share their responses with a classmate. Then, invite students to share responses with the group.

Pair students to discuss the times and places that they read. Do they read in the library? In the kitchen? In the bedroom? Discuss environmental conditions that they feel are important with respect to their own reading habits. To extend the initial discussion, ask students to consider the environmental conditions that affect one's frame of mind before reading. Have them brainstorm classroom environmental conditions that contribute to setting the stage for reading and what they could do to control these conditions in their future classrooms.

During Reading 4.

Use the following quote from the textbook to discuss how teachers can use topics about which students are curious to engage them in learning: "Schools do not pay enough attention to students' curiosity and imagination. As a result, students disengage from active participation in the academic life of the classroom because there is little satisfaction to be gained from it."

Require each student to select a chapter from a content area textbook of their choosing. After they preview the chapter, have each student respond to the question: What background knowledge do I bring to the topic(s) covered in this chapter?

After Reading/In the Field 6.

Have the students bring content textbooks to class. Working in small groups, have them examine the illustrations and photographs in the texts. Discuss how the pictures might be used to arouse curiosity about the topic.

Have the students bring a children's picture book to class. Using the Story Impression example in the text, challenge the students to design a Story Impression for the book. Students can then trade Story Impressions with a partner, complete them, and then read the story to compare and contrast information.

Using a content area textbook of their choice, have students apply the IEPC strategy to a selection of the text. Students can share their application of this strategy in small groups or with the whole class.

Discuss the following statement from the text and its implications for teachers and students: "Self-efficacy and motivation are interrelated concepts."

10. Using content area textbooks of their choosing, have each student design an Anticipation Guide to accompany a chapter. Students may share their guides in small groups. 11. Model for students the ReQuest strategy using a human-interest story from the newspaper. Working in small groups, have students practice the strategy using a work children's literature. 12. Consider the following quote from the chapter: ". . . a great deal of uncertainty pervades reading for many students." Have students discuss what they, as teachers, can do to reduce that uncertainly by applying strategies that activate prior knowledge and raise students' interest in a topic.

Activities and Discussion Questions Before Reading 1.

Lead a discussion in which the students recall writing assignments that they have experienced or have observed as pre-service teachers. List the assignments. Next to each assignment, have the students characterize the type of learning they think the assignment fostered. (Did the assignment foster factual learning? Personal reactions? Extended learning? Organizational skills?)

Ask the students to respond to the following quote from the textbook: "Sometimes reading and writing are taught in classrooms as if they bear little relationship to each other. The result has often been to sever the powerful bonds for meaning-making that exist between reading and writing." Use their responses to discuss writing assignments that, from their own experiences, enhanced meaning-making.

Draw attention to the following quote from the textbook: "Writing activates learning by helping students to explore, clarify, and think deeply about the ideas and concepts they encounter in reading." Ask students to write a response. Use the students' responses to discuss the different forms of writing they have observed in their classroom experiences.

Have the students discuss their ideas about the meaning of multi-genre writing. Have them brainstorm a list of the different writing genres that could be used in content area classrooms.

During Reading 5.

Ask students to compose unsent letters to parents on the role of writing in a specific content area classroom. Students may read their letters within small groups or to the whole class.

Challenge students to compose biopoems about people, concepts, or events that are significant to the content area that they plan to teach.

Chapter 10: Studying Text

Purpose The purpose of this chapter is to develop an understanding of how recognizing text structure and applying specific study strategies helps students to process and retain the ideas encountered in texts during reading.

Underlying Concepts 1.

Studying involves using strategies that can aid a reader in comprehension of content.

Good readers approach a reading assignment looking for a predominant pattern or organization that will tie together the ideas in the text passage.

Graphic organizers such as comparison and contrast matrices, problem and solution outlines, and series of events chains help learners comprehend and retain textually important information.

To become adept at summarizing, students must be able to discern and analyze text structure.

Making notes can help students to understand and retain what they have read.

Student Objectives 1.

Students will develop an understanding of what it means to study.

Students will be able to distinguish between various types of internal and external text structure.

Students will be able to identify text patterns.

Pre-service teachers will be able to design graphic organizers that will help students to make connections among important concepts.

Students will demonstrate that they know how to summarize information.

Pre-service teachers will understand how to show students how to effectively take notes using different notetaking formats.

Activities and Discussion Questions Before Reading 1.

Hold a discussion in which students share the strategies they use for studying, including where they study and when they study. Use their responses to discuss the purposes and methods of studying.

Ask the students to bring notebooks to class in which they have written notes for a variety of content areas. In small groups, have the students share the ways in which they take notes and explain how they use their notes to study the various content areas.

Have students respond to the following quote from the textbook: "Too often, students is that they are not aware of what it means to study, let alone how to use study strategies." Use students' responses to discuss study habits.

Give students time to recall and share effective study strategies that teachers have taught them. Use the students' responses to discuss how study strategies can be effectively taught to students.

Using a textbook from their content area, have students take a textbook scavenger hunt. Organize students into teams, and then provide them with a list of items to find in their textbooks. Items might include statements and questions such as: What are the chapter headings and subheadings? In what appendix would you find ________? Is there a summary at the end of each chapter? If so, how is it constructed? When they have finished, have them reflect on the internal and external structures found in their textbook. In what ways do these structures support student learning? In what ways do they present challenges for students?

During Reading 6.

Have the students use sample content area textbooks, examining the internal and external organization of the books. In small groups, let the students discuss the aspects of the text organization that aid or impair the reader friendliness of the book.

Using the signal words and the text patterns explained in the chapter, ask students to locate different text patterns in content area textbooks. 35 Copyright © 2021 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

During Reading 4.

As the students read, have them list the factors that they would consider when compiling a collection of trade books and resources for a classroom library.

Require the students to select a trade book appropriate for their content area of interest. Working in pairs or small groups, ask them to model how they would use the trade book in their own classrooms to develop schema and extend learning.

After Reading/In the Field 6.

Ask each student to select a topic of interest within his or her content area. Then, have each student locate two picture books related to that topic and share the books using a "book talk" format in which they present a brief summary of each book and explain how the books could be used to enhance the study of their chosen topic.

Model for students by reading aloud a selection from a trade book that can be used to enhance content area learning. Give students the chance to practice reading aloud in small-group sessions.

Assign students to small groups and challenge them to use a trade book appropriate to their content area to create a readers theatre script.

Ask each student to select a significant person in a content area of his or her choice. Using a variety of trade books, have students locate biographical or autobiographical information about the person. Compare that information with the information found in a content area textbook. Discuss how this use of trade books can enhance content area learning.

10. Using textbooks from content areas of their choice, have students work in small groups to select a chapter from the text and generate a list of questions that arise from it. Students should subsequently search for several trade books that address the questions and report their findings to the class. 39 Copyright © 2021 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
