By relying on the priming method, this journey guides students in the reading process and encourages them to develop deeper understanding of the content and critical reading skills.
Using social annotation encourages students to thoroughly analyze the content and exchange thoughts with peers, resulting in deeper understanding of the materials.
Students are continuously motivated to engage in the learning process via interactive activities and meaningful dialogues (student-content, student-student, student-teacher).
Instructors upload the reading materials to Comprehension tool, then annotate the themes and questions for students to identify and respond to. Students read the text and identify the sections that relate to the listed themes, annotate these relevant passages and optionally summarize multiple annotations.
The annotations made by students are used to fuel an in-class discussion. This is where instructors clarify the most common misconceptions and questions emerged during the previous activity, while students engage in discussion with peers on the reading.
Students reflect on the reading comprehension process: how they annotate the reading and how the activity helped them understand the text. This activity helps to develop self-regulatory learning and critical reflection.
You'll receive the journey we draft together for you and our recommendations on how to implement it.
