Leave the question, type your direct and focused response in regular font (not bolded) and
double spaced. Use module readings and videos to answer with course vocabulary and
informally cite each source (specifically-page number, article title and link, video name and
minute spans.) Some questions naturally require more detail than others. Brief doesn’t
always mean incorrect, but relevant details that support your response should be included.
Proofread, spellcheck, use academic writing. Avoid repetitive phrases and “filler” keep it
on track, fact based, and directly answer. This is not personal narrative.
1. Within the readings and videos in this module, metacognition in regard to
reading is addressed. What is metacognition’s purpose in the context of
reading comprehension and what are some strategies that may help
students process reading using metacognition? The readings tell you what
it is and what it looks like, but not necessarily a strategy to address it-so
apply what you have learned from this course to come up with a solution to
help students process what they are reading through metacognition as an
activity.
2. In one of the module readings, difficulty in comprehension is explained
from three perspectives, student, parent, and teacher. Briefly detail each
perspective and explain why it is important to understand each perspective
to be an effective partner in education.
3. Of the strategies for partner reading discussed in the module lecture,
choose one that stands out to you. What is it, why does it stand out to you,
and how could you see yourself implementing it?
4. Of the strategies for teaching vocabulary discussed in the module lecture,
choose one that stands out to you. What is it and how is it a helpful
tool/resource?
