Give a thorough description of the strategy and how it will be implemented. This should be a summary of the strategy according to the original source:
I found this resourced on the same page as I found the SQ3R strategy. This site listed vocabulary that is used in the Florida State Assessments but I felt that graphic organizers would be useful to use in class before a reading assignment.
Explain what part of the standard course of study is addressed by this activity.
I believe that this strategy will be useful for every math lesson. The vocabulary that I pulled from the source focused on Goal 1: The learner will understand and compute with real numbers.
Explain why you think this strategy will work. How does the strategy help your students learn?
I believe that to be actively reading and comprehending the material than the students need to have a complete understanding of the vocabulary. This certain activity will be given before the reading of text and will focus on the student’s previous knowledge of the word, an explanation in their own words, facts/rules/formulas, and picture and graphs of the term.
Example:
Irrational Number- (definition)
Mark on the line your knowledge of this word.
Never Heard of It Somewhat Familiar Use It All the Time
