ELA B10: Mar 3 Active Reading involves…
- After yesterday’s review of the habits of effective listeners and understanding that these directly apply to reading as well, we looked more closely at specific stages of reading (before, during, after) and the steps a careful reader should go through (whether naturally or by focused choice) in order to gain greater comprehension and therefore retain more information in the process.
- The activity today, I was pleased to see, was a little energized with a few students doing a great job of demonstrating Biased Listening or Impatient Listening, though I don’t think they intended on role playing for our educational benefit. It fits with our topic, though, because I think they all understand and would be able to recognize similar negative habits in reading behaviours.
