Reciprocal Reading in History. As Head of History I often find that when presented with text heavy sources our students are unwilling to spend the time reading them.
This then impacts on their understanding and results in answers that lack detail. For me to read aloud to the class meant that far too many students just sat back and switched off, having individual students read aloud resulted in much of the same. I began to look for ways to encourage them to read while gain a deeper understanding of complex text. I also wanted them to take ownership of their own learning. It was for this reason that I decided to implement the reciprocal reading strategy. Reciprocal teaching refers to an instructional activity in which students become the teacher in small group reading sessions.Teachers model, then help students learn to guide group discussions using four strategies: summarising, question generating, clarifying, and predicting. Why use reciprocal reading?

We ponder the successes, failures and standout events that are slowly scripting our life’s story. This process of self reflection helps us maintain a conscious awareness of where we’ve been and where we intend to go.

To shift the structure of a sentence alters the meaning of the sentence, as definitely and inflexibly as the position of a camera alters the meaning of the subject photographed. Many people know camera angles now, but not so many know about sentences. -- Joan Didion The term "grammar" can be applied to the description of language behavior as well as to prescriptions for correct language use. For the purposes of this guide, I am going to assume that the second meaning is the operative one here and that teachers seeking Internet help with grammar will sometimes want reference information and at other times will want explanations and exercises that can be given to students.

If students use a famous poem as a template for their own original poetry, they are able to follow that specific meter and rhyme scheme. Having students use pre selected images about which to write also helps them focus on the format of the poem, instead of struggling with the subject choices. Read through the poem written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author famous for her Anne of Green Gables series. Students should be asked to use this poem as a model for writing an original poem.
