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.

Presente un tema específico y pregunte a los estudiantes, en lluvia de ideas, lo que saben acerca del tema (por ej., El sistema solar). Coloque en el pizarrón un cartel dividido en tres columnas: “Sé”, “Quiero aprender” y “Aprendí”, como herramienta de trabajo. Los estudiantes, en parejas, escriben sus ideas en tarjetas y las pegan en la primera columna: “Sé”. Tomando turnos, leen las ideas y el maestro les pregunta acerca de lo que piensan de esas ideas. Haga las preguntas pertinentes para que los alumnos escriban, en parejas nuevamente, lo que quieren aprender acerca del tema. Igualmente, pegan sus ideas en la segunda columna: “Quiero aprender”. Por último, los estudiantes, en parejas, consultan fuentes de información, ya sea digitales o escritas, que confirmen o que rechacen su conocimiento previo. Escriben la evidencia textual que les permite aclarar y sustentar información verídica. Insertan esta información en la columna “Aprendí”. Finalmente, comparten sus hallazgos con el grupo.

Modere la presentación de las distintas parejas y tome nota de la participación de los estudiantes.


Further Explanation

Los estudiantes identifican la evidencia textual que apoya el tema que están tratando y que comprueba o rechaza las ideas previas que tenían acerca del tema. De esta manera, pueden diferenciar entre el conocimiento común y el conocimiento formal.

A response is appropriate when it is logically connected to the topic in question and uses sufficient text evidence as support. Students are expected to write responses that are pertinent to the lesson or concept being taught and that follow the specific purpose of the task. For example, students may be asked to write an argumentative essay after reading two articles that present opposite views of a topic.
paraphrased or directly quoted information from a source that supports an inference, thesis, claim, or analysis
Students are expected to use information directly from texts to support their responses. When responding to a text, students need to make sure that they are correctly interpreting the author's purpose and the text content. It is important that students understand that their responses must be based on actual ideas presented in a text and not on their personal opinions about the topic being discussed. That's why students need to link their own reasoning to the information contained in a text.
Cita textual o parafraseada de una fuente de información que el lector usa para apoyar una inferencia, tesis, argumento, análisis, etc.

Summary: This study examines the effectiveness of multiple inference intervention strategies that were designed to increase inference-making and reading comprehension for struggling readers. The study focused on using text clues, activating and integrating prior knowledge, understanding character and author's purpose, and responding to inference questions. Details and lesson examples are available in the Appendix.

Summary: This study reveals the results of a collaborative project with the California Writing Project and large, urban, low‐SES school districts where 93% of the students speak English as a second language and 69% are designated Limited English Proficient. The article describes a longitudinal study related to the impact of ongoing professional development centered on strategies used to teach students to comprehend, analyze, and write interpretive essays about themes. Students showed significant improvement in comprehending and analyzing themes.
