Adam- Hey everyone I have figured out that along with what we talked about in class I am going to present on three different aspects of weather. The reading strat. I will be focusing on is compare and contrasting. I will use a triple vendiagram and note taking to create a simple and basic skill that should promote this reading strategy.

Michelle: I like Adam's idea of using a venn diagram to work on comparing and contrasting three different aspects of weather. I think that this will help the students to visualize and see the similarities and differences and it will help them to break down the content area more.

For my classroom, the first thing that I do before teaching any new content area or reading with my students is I read and pull out vocabulary that my students will not understand. I then create visuals/definitions that I go over with the students prior to the reading. This helps to build some of the skills that they need even before we get to the reading.

Katelyn: I plan to present a Venn diagram too. I plan to show a page from my new science curriculum. The page is called "How to Read Science" and it teaches the students a reading skill and asks them to use the skill with a piece from a science textbook. I will focus on comparing and contrasting plants and animals.
