Today we reviewed seven reading strategies and attached them to future goals and plans.
The reading strategies presentation is linked below.
These were the personal questions/notes that went with the slides:
1. Making Connections:
Allusions are references to biblical, literary, or cultural contexts. These were often used in texts passed down through oral tradition, so that people could relate the stories to something else they knew.
2. Self-questioning: what questions do you have about the college application process and your transition to college? (a few students shared these in discussion...)
3. Visualization: Write a description that visualizes what your life will be like one year from now. Imagining it in a concrete manner can help motivate you to achieve it.
4. Determining importance: make a list of the people/values/things that are most important to you right now.
5. Synthesize Meaning: narrow your list from above down to just one thing that is most important to you
6. Making inferences: write down a few things that you feel you will need in order to feel comfortable and "at home" in your new surroundings and college lifestyle next year.
7. Monitoring Comprehension
