Instructional Strategies

For my unit plan, I intend to utilize to instructional strategies listed in "Literacy Instruction in the Content Areas."

For preparation, I will primarily be implemnting text walk strategy to point out important concepts in the reading. The point is to help the students understand what they should be focusing on and also the general outline of the reading.

For guidance, I want to implement graphic organizer assignments. This is to help the students organize what they read and get a sense of the text's structure. Also, I intend to assign journal entry assignments, providing questions that will help them focus on the important concepts in the reading.

For independence, the main strategy I will implement is writing because writing gives the students the opportunities to reflect on and evaluate what they learned from the text. They will develop their own opinions on the material. I will be implementing writing as the final large assessment of the unit.
