While we read this story we would have each person on our group have a name tag saying predictor, summarizer, questioner, or clarifier.
The predictor would tell the group what they thought the author would tell about in the next section. The summarizer would record and tell the group the main idea of the passage and the important supporting details. The questioner would ask questions (on the top or below the surface questions). The clarifier would ask if anyone got stuck on a word or an idea.
This is a great technique. Maybe SJCPOS can try this sometime.
This is a very interesting and fun technique of learning. One day, I will try to suggest this method to our teacher.
That was a good story
This is a very clever way to learn. I’ll see if I can try it sometime. Was it fun? 🙂
