What kind of document did you collect?
The document that I collected from the classroom was a series of reading comprehension
strategies that students could use while reading.

What does this document show?

Each document describes a different strategy that students are able to refer to as they are
reading to help them become better with comprehension. For example, there are strategies
called compare and contrast, authors point of view, cause and effect, etc.

Reflection: What are your thoughts/opinions about this document?

These are all strategies that I have also read and learned about in my READ 3226 class and I
believe this is a great example of meeting the different needs of the students. Instead of only
displaying one strategy that the teacher preferred, Mr. Jamison displayed many different
strategies for the students. Therefore, students are allowed to use and refer to what works best for
them and what they are reading. I also liked that Mr. Jamison displayed this information on the
wall for the class to see instead of giving them a worksheet to refer to, because they may
eventually misplace a sheet of paper. That way they know they can refer to these strategies at all
times until they feel completely comfortable with them. I plan on displaying a similar strategy in
the future in my own classroom to help my students with their reading comprehension.
