Beck and Mckeown (2001) Assignment
January 24, 2010 at 10:29 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 6 CommentsKey Points
As i began to read this article two points jumped out immediately. One is that we need to choose text that will challenge our students. The other coincides with the first, we need to make sure we do not choose a text that challenging to the point were students are confused and not getting the story. Also we need to make sure that the questions require more than one word answers, they need to put thought into the story. Another point that was mentioned was that you need to give definitions or synonyms to words or phases that are unfamiliar to students. One of the more important points was you need to show the pictures after the question or every couple pages so the students do not answer the questions based on the pictures.
Key Steps
- First choose a book that is appropriate and challenging
- Come up with questions that will make the students think about the story
- Ask to see if the students know the main points of the story
- Make sure to define or use synonyms for unfamiliar words
- Do not show pictures till after the students answer the questions

I think your reaction to this article was right on target. You really understood what it was about and translated it into your own words, that were easier to understand. I liked how you spaced out your steps for the 2nd question becuase it made it easier to see the individual steps themselves.

Great job Ryan. You covered all the important points in doing an effective Text Talk lesson and listed the steps separately. My only suggestion is for you to pay attention to your language. I saw typos in your response,e.g., “were” for “where.”
