Claim, Evidence & Reasoning<\/strong><\/p>\n The Henry Ford staff spent the morning on November 7th engaged in literacy learning.\u00a0 One of the areas we focused our dialogue on is Claim, Evidence and Reasoning.\u00a0 Check out the introductory C.E.R. powerpoint<\/a> for more information!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Comprehension Strategies & Mini-lesson Subskills<\/a><\/p>\n Wouldn’t it be wonderful if comprehension strategies could be taught in a single mini-lesson?\u00a0 We all know that our students need numerous mini-lessons across the year that target the subskills for each comprehension strategy in order to be successful.\u00a0 See Kristina Smekens’ Comprehension Strategies & Mini-lesson Subskills<\/a>\u00a0resource for a list of subskills associated with the comprehension strategies.\u00a0 She reminds us of the following:<\/p>\n “For every comprehension mini-lesson, first announce the strategy the lesson targets.\u00a0 Then, explain the small subskill that is the focus of the day’s instruction. Be sure to include experience with that subskill as it’s used in literature and informational text. The skills, lessons, and applications are just a little different in different types of text.” (Smekens Education Solutions, Inc.<\/a>)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reading for Meaning<\/b><\/p>\n Looking for ways to teach and encourage students to evaluate evidence and use it to support positions?
