FINDS and Informational Text
Pre-Reading: Check out the Framework
FINDS and Informational Text
During reading: Connect to the main idea with a graphic organizer such as a fishbone for cause and effect
FINDS and Informational Text
After reading: Connect to the main idea by using higher level questioning that requires students to “create” their answer through application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
Digging Deeper
“Many children are not so engaged when they read. They don’t know when they’re comprehending. They don’t know when they are not. They don’t know whether it is critical for them to comprehend a given piece. And if they don’t comprehend, they don’t know what to do about it.”
Keene, Ellin Oliver and Zimmerman, Susan. Mosaic of Thought. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann, 1997.
According to Mosaic of Thought,proficient readers:
Make different types of connections to the text
Text-to-SelfText-to-TextText -to-World
The Question is the Key
Proficient Readers:
Spontaneously generate questions
Ask questions to clarify meaning
Recognize that if the answer is not in text, they will need to infer it
Are aware that as they hear questions, new ones are inspired in the their own minds
Connecting Text
Make connections between different types of passages with common themes
After reading informational text on a topic, have studentsread a literary piece or poem and identify the connection between the texts
TEXT-TO-TEXT CONNECTION
Novel Extensions
Identify a theme or topic that requires further research, exploration, or cross-curricular study.
Turn passive readers into active readers by integrating technology and inquiry-based learning into reading instruction.
Podcasts, Google Lit Trips, E-Zines, wikis and blogs are just a few examples of how technology can be used to extend novels, giving students a chance for real world application and tap into critical thinking skills.
FINDS: Novel Extensions
Google Lit Trips combine digital literacy, technology and reading skills.
