This track is intended to increase 6th grade student's comprehension. These are ongoing lessons that will help students learn skills necessary to achieve a higher level of comprehension that corresponds with core curriculum. Students will learn the meaning of silent reading and develop skills to be able to read silently, prepare a question for the class off a passage that they have read silently, allowed to assess themselves, and receive feedback from peers about the passages/questions read and developed. This unit addresses my student's learning gap by giving students daily practice with comprehension passages and with strategies for strengthening their comprehension. This unit addresses the learning expectations from the Tennessee Curriculum Framework by enabling my students to develop reading skills necessary for word recognition, comprehension, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and appreciation of the written text. This unit addresses the need for students to choose which parts of a topic are important and develop questions that help themselves and others understand a topic better as described in the student profiler survey, specifically in numbers nine, seventeen, and nineteen. In this track, students will address the four following performance objectives: read passages from newspapers, journals and books. After reading each passage the students will develop a question pertaining to the passage for the class, explain the three steps to KWL reading strategy and utilize the KWL comprehension strategy when they read to help them understand what they have read, read the book: Magic Tree House #13: Vacation Under the Volcano and answer the comprehension questions posted on the Internet site of teachers.net, and research some information about their family history, record this information and present the information orally to the class.
