Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 10
Beginner - Intermediate Level
Paraphrasing a text in your own words is difficult if you don't understand it! This class will teach a strategic way to approach a text, whether the subject matter is science, history, or another topic so that you can understand what you are reading. After you understand it, you can then paraphrase the content into your own words, demonstrating your understanding and thinking. 

In this class, we will use a social studies passage and students will learn how to: 
✅ approach a text with the right attitude, 
✅ examine the text structure, 
✅ engage their own background knowledge, 
✅ read while thinking,
✅ take notes without plagiarizing, and
✅ paraphrase the information in their own words.

• Specific, not general
• Immediate, not postponed
• Routine with a revision / feedback cycle
• Explanatory
• The right amount
• Targeted to the most critical issues
• Varied (written, audio, and video comments)
• Holding students accountable
