is a great site for learning reading comprehension strategies.  The student side of the site explains the strategy and then let’s them try it themselves. There is a teacher side has a lesson plan and resources like graphic organizers and videos that I will use to teach the strategy before they try it themselves on student side.

The focus for this week will be on Synthesizing what they read with what they already know to get new ideas.

I’ll use the videos first to teach the kids about Synthesizing.

We’ll use a graphic organizer to practice the skill with a reading selection.

Then the kids get to try it themselves.  They will create a username so they can save their progress.  At the end of this activity they are supposed to be able to email their finished bookmark.  We’ll give that a try so you can see what they make.

Mrs. Denton had already prepared our students for the trip by teaching them elements of the art they will see.

Our students recorded interviews with each other about the art there.  Using digital recorders, cell phones, and digital cameras, they applied what they had learned to the art they saw.  The application of their learning was powerful.

I pulled them all together into this video.  Enjoy!
