Today in Class...

There are plenty of strategies that can be used to help students learn how to comprehend something that they have read. Today we spoke about writing to learn activities such as micro themes, Point of View Guides (POVGs), unsent letters, and an assortment of other strategies that can be used with any classroom setting. The one that we used today was a Biopoem it was a really interesting way to get the reader to interact with a classmate as well as having to grasp what the text is about. What made this assignment so cool to me was that we did not read from a mundane textbook but from a children's book with illustrations and all. In order to complete the biopoem my partner and I actually had to read the book, it was not one of those assignments where you could just skim through and find the answers, another thing that I like is that no two students will really have the same poem, there will be similarities but different aspects of the book will stick out to each student thus making this a quick and easy way for students to get some knowledge on a subject while having some active reading going on.
