A literacy strategy from Doug Buehl Questioning the Author *CESA 6 Literacy Workshop December 4th, 2013
Learning Target: • Students will develop the capacity to inform themselves and to access the knowledge and practices of the discipline without needing someone to tell them or show them. The Focus: • Disciplinary Literacy: meeting the challenge of the common core in all disciplines
The Reading Task • Readers need to “work the text” to come to an understanding with the author • Close reading = questioning or clarifying
Setting the Tone Both the reader and the author have responsibilities in making text meaningful • “Meeting of the minds” • Model the Strategy
Tips for Modeling • Recalibrate the language • Author, not article or text • Working the text and building knowledge, not reading the text • Model as a student • Make mistakes they might make • Clarify • Use a timer to maximize productivity
