What Is The Kwl Strategy

Decent Essays
Comprehension strategies form a bridge between teacher-originated guidance and independent learning behaviors by students. One strategy that I really feel like would be great for an elementary class was the KWL strategy. The students are able to bring in their prior knowledge of the world around them to the “What I know” section (“K”). Then the students need to generate what they want to learn about before they read and then write their answers down in the “W” section. After the students read the text they write down what they learned from the text in the “L” section. I would need to introduce the KWL strategy to the class in while combining a new topic or selection, such as our planets in our solar system. I bring out a book that was about

Beth Antunez, author of English Language Learners and the Five Essential Components of Reading Instruction, says using these 5 components teachers can really reach their students who struggle with English reading development. The first component of the 5 is phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate phonemes in spoken words says author Beth Antunez.

    Strengthening the student toolbox by Dunlosky describes multiple strategies that students can use to learn certain amounts of information that the students have to know in a class and in turn strategies on how teachers can teach their students. These strategies were as follows for students and teachers being the good; practice testing, disturbed practice, interleaved practice, elaborative interrogation, self-explanation, and the bad; rereading, highlighting, summarization, keyword mnemonic and imagery for text.

    Content area literacy is an important part of a students’ literacy development. My definition is that it is the part of literacy that helps students comprehend different subjects and the information that comes with the content.

This puts a great deal of pressure on our shoulders as teachers to make sure our students can read and write successfully in all content areas. My past experiences with content area literacy has not all been positive.…

    SSL: KSSL is a client side only implementation of SSLv3.0 Other versions, SSLv2.0 or SSLv3.1 (aka TLS1.0) are not currently supported since they are not used as frequently. The client only offers two cipher suites – RSA RC4 128 MD5 and RSA RC4 40 MD5 since they are fast and almost universally implemented by SSL servers from the very early days of the protocol. Client side authentication is not implemented because it is rarely used and requires (highly CPU intensive) private key RSA operations on the client. The server is authenticated via RSA signatures. There are no restrictions on the server 's certificate chain length.…
