Knowledge and Skills Statement

Response skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts. The student responds to an increasingly challenging variety of sources that are read, heard, or viewed.

Considere juntar las expectativas 3.7.D y 3.7.F y evaluarlas al mismo tiempo. En la expectativa 3.7.F, los estudiantes responden usando el vocabulario recién adquirido según sea apropiado. Mientras se lee un texto, identifique vocabulario relevante que sea nuevo para los estudiantes. Después de leído el texto, deles a los estudiantes un organizador gráfico que los ayude a organizar el volver a contar el texto. Apoye a los estudiantes añadiendo la información apropiada en el organizador gráfico, incluyendo el vocabulario nuevo. Pídales a los estudiantes que cuenten otra vez el texto o que lo parafraseen, incluyendo el vocabulario adquirido. Anime a los estudiantes a que usen el nuevo vocabulario en distintas áreas de contenido.


Further Explanation

Esta expectativa estudiantil implica que los estudiantes cuenten nuevamente algo que hayan leído utilizando palabras distintas de las que usó el autor. Los estudiantes demuestran su nivel de comprensión cuando son capaces de parafrasear información que han leído, usando sus propias palabras.

an organizing structure that presents ideas or information in a logical and rational sequence and is often used in argumentative and informative writing
Students are expected to restate something they have read or heard, retaining the intended meaning of the original while using different words than the author. Students show their level of comprehension and use of language when they correctly paraphrase information. Paraphrasing can be done either verbally or in writing.
Retelling is not providing a verbatim report, but rather an effort to identify and describe, either verbally or in writing, the essential information of a text. When students are asked to retell a story, for instance, they are expected to recall its key ideas and supporting details.

Summary: The purpose of the study was to determine whether summarizing skills could be developed in 4th grade primary school students. Findings indicate that teachers can increase student's ability to summarize by systematically training them to use summary skills. The study also revealed that if the learning environment does not encourage students to summarize, it will negatively impact student's reading comprehension.

Summary: Focusing on individual student's challenges, the authors look at the way students initially approach paraphrasing, and then model for students how to paraphrase by connecting reading with prior knowledge.

Summary: The study acknowledges that most students think paraphrasing is copying from the source and changing a word or two. Nothing that this short-circuits students ability to fully synthesize and understand a text, the authors provide a four-step paraphrasing for comprehension strategy.
