Comprehension Strategies

Since most students will not understand what it is like to live

in another state or country, to help students comprehend what

it might be like be like, we will watch video clips of people living in

other counties. We will note the differences we see (such as clothing,

houses, and food) we will then have a discussion and talk about

what each student noticed. We will then, put this information

with the other activities we have done in class to help broaden

our understanding of other countries.

Another activity we can do to help with comprehension

would be to have students sit in a circle, we will have

a small ball, which the students will pass around the

circle. To begin the teacher will call out something from

the unit the students have learned. Then the student

with the ball respond with something about that subject,

pass the ball to someone else, and the activity continues

until all areas have been covered. This will help review

the material as well as help students

comprehend a

little more.
