Distinguishing
Importance: Where's the beef? Use conclusions about important
ideas to focus students' reading and help them exclude the "unessential." Often,
by pointing out what is unimportant, you help students to distinguish importance more
clearly. Ask them to read and think aloud about their mental
images as you guide them to distinguish between images
that are critical to understanding and those little details in
images that are interesting, but not essential to the purpose
for reading. Students can use sensory images to lose themselves
in rich detail, gain a greater depth in the reading, draw conclusions,
and make text more memorable. Engaging discussion can grow from
disputes over what is important. Let children work to defend
their positions. |
