Goals
• Experience lessons and share plans for comprehension: Determining Importance and Synthesizing
• View and discuss some video clips on Guided Reading
Determining Importance
Proficient readers…• Are able to distinguish between what is merely interesting
and what is important.
• Can identify the topic, supporting details, identify or invent their own main idea or summary statement.
• Can find the essence of the text.
• Realize that not all of the text is of equal value.
• Identify essential ideas and salient information in order to develop insight.
• Look for text features that signal cues.
Determining Importance Prompts– What is essential? How did you know these details
were more important than the others ones?
– Look carefully at the first and last line of each paragraph.
– Tell me about some of the important ideas that struck you.
– Highlight only necessary words and phrases.
– Locate and record only necessary words and phrases that support the conventions you can find in the text.

Eagles build their nests in tall tress, cliff ledges, or in other high, private places. They weave twigs and sticks together then line the nest with leaves, moss, grass, feathers, and pine needles. They often keep the nest for many years and continue to add to it. Fish and sea eagles have built nests that measure as much as eight feet across.

If left alone in the wild, eagles could live up to forty years. But too many come close to civilization because trees have been cut down and water poisoned with fertilizers and pesticides. Others are killed by electricity lines, traps meant for other animals, and accidental shootings. We currently have only half as many eagles in the world as there were 100 years ago.

Synthesizing
Synthesizing“Synthesizing is the most complex of the comprehension strategies. Synthesizing lies on a continuum of evolving thinking. Synthesizing runs the gamut from taking stock of meaning while reading to achieving new insight. Introducing the strategy of synthesizing in reading, then, primarily involves teaching the reader to stop every so often and think about what she has read. Each piece of additional information enhances the reader’s understanding and allows her to better construct meaning.”
Harvey and Goudvisp. 144-45
Proficient readers…
• Merge new information with prior knowledge to create an original idea
• Stop periodically to digest what they have and what it means before continuing
• Make judgments
• Combine all the comprehension strategies to synthesize
Synthesizing Prompts
– What new ideas or information do you have?
– What parts of this text could you use to create a new idea?
– How has your thinking changed since reading that part of the text?
– What did you think at first? Now what are you thinking?
GIST
GIST
• Teacher makes deliberate text choice:
support with some challenge. Brief
informal introduction through establishing
prior knowledge and exposing to
vocabulary .
GIST1. Draw 20 word-sized blanks on the chalkboard.
2. Read a short section of text .
3. Engage in a shared writing of a 20 word summary.
4. Read additional sections of text (one-two paragraphs).
5. Information from both sections must be incorporated into a new 20 word summary.
6. Repeat with additional sections.
Discuss
• What do students learn as a result of GIST?
• What else are they learning?
• How would you use it in the classroom?

Go to the W column; check any questions that were answered.

Select and bring in a piece of nonfiction text that is appropriate for students at your grade level. Reflect on…
What ideas do you have for addressing 1-3 of the feature of the text you have chosen? Be ready to hand in a reflection that includes annotated bibliography, an analysis of text features, and tentative ideas for addressing some of them.
► Become familiar with the Standards and Instruction, Curriculular and Instructional Profile and Content Standards for your grade level.
► In preparation for RICA: Become familiar with the 13 content areas. Familiarize yourself with the various testing formats used. Bring questions.
