Mr. Ripley-Moffitt has taught and reviewed the SQ4R content area reading strategy throughout the year at the beginning of each large reading assignment or packet. The strategy focuses on the key components of actively reading within an academic content area, usually non-fiction material. Since this type of reading is so different from most Language Arts reading assignments and generally a quite new experience for sixth-graders we introduce it and return to it throughout the year in World Cultures. Coggle is an easy to learn and use Mind-Mapping Tool which creates a wonderful visual and organic display of the information. Making thinking visible has been another learning strand throughout this year in World Cultures.
