Utilize QAR Principles within Content-Area Text and Graphics

Students need to read not only sentences and paragraphs, but they should also be able to read and comprehend information within text features, too (e.g., graphs, charts, captions, etc.). However, students should first five people to respond with something they learned will receive a prize be able to glean more than just simple facts from content area information. Introduce the concepts of QAR (Question-Answer-Relationship). Teach students to take note of the different types of questions that can be created from a text or graphic. For many students it never occurred to them that there was anything other than an obvious, right-there question to ask.

1. Right There Questions. Literal questions can be answered in one spot within the reading. These are easy questions that are answered right there in the reading. They are typically fast and easy to answer.

2. Think and Search Questions. Also explain that some questions are answered by putting together several snippets of information from the text and/or text features. They won’t find them in one spot but rather have to look through several chunks of information. It’s all there in the reading, but it requires students to search a little bit.

3. Author and Me. Then move on to the most difficult of questions—inferential questions. Explain to students that these questions are not answered directly word-for-word within the reading but require them to apply what they read with their own thinking. They need to formulate a reasonable response, one that is based on the ideas presented by the author/the text.

What’s New in EDGE? (EACS High Ability Education)

mall. They visited Santa and ate at the food court. Each student

wrote a letter to Santa and practiced ordering food from a

menu, and the day of the trip every student communicated with

Santa and ordered their own food. (See the picture for the

visual supports used during the trip for nonverbal students!)

• One of our new HHS ED teachers, Jessica Gettys, created a

pacing lane for students to use when agitated. She has visual

procedures for using the lane posted on the wall in her

classroom. (See pic below)

• BABY ANNOUNCEMENTS – Congratulations to Andrea Brooks on

the birth of her baby girl, Grace!

• Welcome back from maternity leave Abby S. and Amy S. ☺

Francine's  Friends Mobile Mammography Unit  is  returning  to  EACS.   This  is  a wonderful  and  convenient  service offered  to  EACS  and  to  our community  by  Parkview Hospital and the Breast Diagnostic Center.  Parkview  recommends  women  have  an  annual  mammogram  beginning  at  age  40. Women 35 and older, who are not experiencing any problems with their breasts, can get a screening mammogram on the coach.  All  participants  must  have  a  family  physician  as  the  screening  report  is  sent  to  the physician.   For participants  that have  insurance,  their  insurance company will be billed.  For  those that have EACS Group Health  Insurance, Mammograms will be considered as a wellness benefit, covered at 100%. Please bring a photo ID and your insurance card.  NO ONE will be turned away for inability to pay.  Francine’s Friends has funding available and a donation toward the cost of the mammogram is welcome.  2018 screening schedule:
