• Connect what you read to what you already know (KWL).
• Relate the reading to your own life
• Always try to visualize anything that you read; this will help you to

remember it more easily

• Pay attention to graphics in the text – this often helps make abstract

ideas more understandable.

• Understand the text you are reading in context – who wrote the text,

when it was written, and what the subject is about.

• Talk and write about what you read – this will help you to verbalize

your understanding of the text and check misconceptions

Part 2

Session 2

Mr. Khathi

Group T

Let Recap on first Session

Lesson objectives

• Apply reading strategies
• Create a mind-map based on the reading

Lets open to page 139 &
critically read “Teaching and
Learning with Social media at
the UW”

REMEMBER TO:
Circle important or difficult vocabulary
Take note of(if any)pictures, graphics,
figures
Look for and underline the main ideas in
each paragraph
Take notes in the margin
Keep a brief record of the most important
points from the text in note form

Let us talk about
organizational structure
of a text before applying
it to the article

1
Topic by Topic

There are no fixed relationships amongst the topics
discussed in the text, therefore the ordering is not
critical. This works well for content that revolves around
current or various types of information

2
Chronological

The content moves from past to present in the form of
a timeline. It is very easy to follow information with this
organizational pattern.

3
Causal

The content presents a number of events, issues,
or topics that culminate in some final effect or
solution.

4
Cumulative

Each concept builds on the previous one(s).

5
Problem-Centred

Problems, questions, or cases represent the
principal organizing features of the content.

6
Spiral

Key topics or concepts are revisited throughout
the reading, with new information or insight
developing each time.

ANY QUESTIONS ?

Let us apply the
information to the
article

Which graphic organizer and
text structure is best suited
for the reading ?

Why is it useful to
understand how a
text is organized ?

How can graphic organizers (the ones I

explained) become a useful tool after

reading a text?

Class lets create a graphic

organizer based on article and

notes that you made while

reading

What's wrong with this
guy? The teacher wants a
mind-map visual not your

muscles
