...The first major decision we made was that we were going to be presenting to 6th graders. While presenting to a younger group is always fun, we felt that 6th grade was perfect for us. Any older than 6th grade and we would risk losing the student’s interest. In the beginning, we had an idea of presenting the story with puppets, however, we quickly realized 6th graders would feel insulted by puppets as they are not “little” kids anymore. As a group we decided to divide the reading evenly. We chose a character analysis because it is more challenging as they have to give textual evidence. We figured this would be a later lesson in a succession of lesson on stories. Prior to this lesson, the student would have covered plot, themes, settings, exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, denoument and characters. As a group we felt the worksheet was a perfect precursor to the homework assignment of changing the point of view of the tale. According to Kathleen...

...Abstract Students who do not learn to read at or close to grade level by the end of elementary school enter the secondary grades unable to meet the demands of their content area classes. The students within these walls came to me with their own uniqueness and various degrees of capabilities. Students were selected based upon their need for improved reading comprehension. After interviewing the classroom teachers (there were 4 different ones) and observing students in their classroom setting the research students were selected. I met with each student individually to get an estimate of what their reading levels might be. The four components of CSR (preview, click and clunk, get the gist, and wrap-up) can be used to stimulate student’s motivation to read, help with decoding print, and comprehend and respond to text. Researchers believe it has improved their students’ reading comprehension, increased their vocabularies, and enhanced cooperative skills, Student’s process over the long term will be evaluated based upon their ability to begin to show automaticity in utilizing the strategies learned as part of CSR. The acquisition of content comprehension can be evaluated by observing students as they interact and use dialog in their cooperative groups. Educating Exceptional Children: Using Collaborative Strategic Reading Statement of the Problem Research states that there is approximately 20% of elementary school students are at risk for reading failure. 5-10% of those students...
