Sometimes students can express themselves easier with pictures. I would also include pre-taught vocabulary so that before we read the text and write the dialogue journals, students https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768611 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768611 can comprehend better the text and include the vocabulary in their dialogue journal.

I think it would be good to make it a requirement for students to include specific keywords from the text in their discussion. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768608 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768608 Sun, 03 Apr 2022 17:16:24 -0400 I would organize the text in important chunks so that students can recognize important details and keywords. I would also include visual supports for harder-to-understand terms to help students comprehend the text. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768606 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768606 Sun, 03 Apr 2022 22:53:02 -0400 I would engage all students integrating a dialogue journal for students to reflect on how they feel about the text. Utilizing a dialogue journal in this case will allow the students to understand the author's point of view and relate it to their personal https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768602 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768602 lives. It'll also help expand their vocabulary by making it a requirement to include at least three keywords from the text in their writing. Sun, 03 Apr 2022 21:38:15 -0400 Because the first two sentences are short and simple, I felt the whole paragraph is important; I couldn't just highlight one sentence. The paragraph wouldn't be as powerful if it was missing a sentence. https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768594 https://nowcomment.com/documents/310794?scroll_to=2768594 I loved this paragraph because it perfectly described what I think everyone experiences. I can personally relate to this, especially in this moment because my birthday was yesterday, and I still feel 21. I don't feel 22. Some days I feel 25 while others I feel 10.
