  12. If you want your students doing this…

  13. Instead of this…

  14. You need to be doing something like this: Probable Passage

  15. Probable Passage

  16. Probable Passage Before Reading 1. Quotation: Distribute quotations to teach class member 2. Mingle: Class members move around the room, reading and discussing each person’s quotation. 3. Probable Passage: In small groups (3-4), write a sentence summarizing what you think the passage may be about 4. To Discover: Write what you hope to learn/discover in reading the passage

  17. Probable Passage During Reading 5. Monitor: As students read the passage, direct them to be aware of the quotes as they arise in the text.

  18. Probable Passage After Reading 6. Revise: Does your summary sentence reflect what the text actually says? If not, revise so it does. 7. Answer: Identify which “To Discover” questions were answered. Brainstorm where more information could be found

  19. Procedures • Choose 8-10 important sentences/phrases • Analyze meanings/relationships of quotations • Write probable passages and questions • Revisit questions and summaries

  20. List-Group-Label 1. List: Examine the terms 2. Group: Categorize the terms into groups based on meaning 3. Label: Designate a name for each group of terms 4. Share/Compare: Share labels with small groups or whole class 5. Discuss: Talk with class about the different ways terms were grouped and labeled.

  21. Probable Passage Variations • Students select terms before/during/after reading • Students group terms • Teacher groups terms (modeling/think aloud) • Teacher supplies group labels before/after reading • Teacher supplies terms and groups • Students attempt to create as many groups as possible • Students use terms to create graphic organizers

  28. What can go wrong? Your students don’t have enough background knowledge to make accurate predictions • Again, a great pre-assessment! • Revisiting questions and predictions is crucial!

  29. Assessment • Use as a formative assessment • What do they know? • Where are the gaps in their understanding? • What do I need to reteach?

  30. Assessment Give students participation points/credit Probable Passage should take almost no time to grade!

  31. Assessment Skim students’ writing for content • Don’t assess conventions! (spelling, punctuation, grammar)

  32. Your turn Think about the texts your students will be reading during the first four weeks of school. Choose at least one text to support with Probable Passage. If you have the text here, begin selecting the 10-15 students will use. Share with neighbors/group.
