During Reading

The During-Reading learning activity involves students in a co-reading experience where students read, highlight and comment on the same virtual text. Students are required to reply to each other’s comments as well. In this way, they are invited to discuss and/or question the significance of a reading and contribute to each other’s reading experience.

Effective During-Reading Comments –>

build a through line across the reading that explains what the reading is about, or develops a consistent theme,
deeply engages with the reading,
stimulate discussion,
offer informative questions or comments, and
help others by addressing their questions or confusions.

Types of Comments –>

**Reply to someone else’s comment (at least two (2) replies required).
*Word Definition → with a reference to a dictionary. ( at least one (1) required)
Interpretation of a few sentences –> This is what I think this means and this is why it is important.
Lived Experience –> a brief story from your life with a direct connection to the reading.
*Implications for → (1) the field of education and/or (2) my work as a teacher, ( at least one implication post is required).
Question → Thoughtfully asked about something you don’t understand.
