Marzano- Classroom Instruction that works [|Marzano Strategies] House episode "inhaler"

We must provide direct instruction related to the skill of summarization. First we must provide opportunities that lend themselves to this high-level skill For Example: Pretend this is a piece of text--try an engagement activity--one word to describe it on your sheet of paper Use a video--move man with different pictures around the world REad a paragraph at a time a nd write one word to summarize it. Page of text and have a sentence summary Two-3 pictures with a one word summary. Write the headline from informational text What 2.0 tools support summarizing-

Use Wordle or Taxedo Eliminate informaiton that is trivial by crossing it off. Replace specifics or lists iwth general terms and phrases

Modeling and Examples of Summarizing

Get student exemplars for book summaries. How can note-taking be used to support the skill of summarizing?

Capturing notes on texts--they were support through the use of a nonlinguistic representation We can support kids by the use of structure



Three types of text-based questions:


 * Within the text
 * Beyond the text
 * About the text
