The document discusses different techniques for improving reading comprehension, including cloze procedure and semantic webbing. Cloze procedure involves systematically deleting words from a text and having students use context clues to fill in the blanks. Studies have found cloze procedure to be an effective technique. Semantic webbing involves organizing and integrating information from a text by eliciting concepts and relationships from students in response to a core question. Both techniques aim to make students more aware of meaning and relationships within a text to improve comprehension.

In this reaction paper, the author discusses key points from Chapters 3 and 4 of Designing with the Mind in Mind by Johnson. [1] In Chapter 3, Johnson explains how the human visual system is optimized to perceive structure and we comprehend information best when it is structured, concise and follows principles of graphic design. [2] In Chapter 4, Johnson addresses that reading is an acquired skill unlike language development, so as designers we must make content as easy to read as possible for all users. [3] The paper also provides best practices for promoting easy reading such as using an appropriate font size, sentence case text and testing content with others.

Here is a draft research report on the topic "Effects of Social Media on Academic Performance of Senior High School Students":
Title: Effects of Social Media on Academic Performance of Senior High School Students
Abstract:
This study investigated the effects of social media use on the academic performance of senior high school students. A survey was conducted among 100 Grade 11 students from a public high school. Results showed that students who spend more time on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat tend to have lower grades compared to those who limit their social media use. The study concludes that excessive social media use can negatively impact academic performance and recommends that students balance social media and academic activities.

Inference
This document summarizes a literature review on effective teaching of inference skills for reading. The review explores different types of inferences, how pupils can best be taught inference skills, and strategies for teaching inference to pupils of different ages and abilities. The review found that the ability to draw inferences is crucial for reading comprehension. While researchers have proposed various taxonomies of inferences, there is no consensus on types. Common distinctions include coherence/text-connecting inferences versus elaborative/gap-filling inferences. The review summarizes research on factors that help pupils make inferences and strategies for teaching inference, such as teacher modeling, questioning techniques, and activating prior knowledge. It notes limited research directly answering how to teach inference skills most effectively.

The passage describes a bet made between a rich man named Haptom and his servant Arha, where Arha agrees to stand naked on a mountain overnight without fire to stay warm in exchange for a farm if he survives. With help from a wise old man, Arha watches a fire in the village below to stay warm and survives the night, but Haptom refuses to pay, leading to a dispute resolved when the old man proves his point with a feast.
Building a literate environment
1. Getting to know students' interests, motivations, attitudes, and perceptions of reading is essential for effective literacy instruction. Assessments of cognitive skills and motivation can guide individualized instruction.
2. Choosing engaging texts based on student interests and ability levels, as well as supplemental non-fiction, can increase motivation. Technology and new literacies should also be incorporated.
3. Effective instruction incorporates interactive, critical, and responsive perspectives. Strategies like guided reading, think-alouds, and questioning help students become strategic, metacognitive, and independent readers.
Content area reading strategies ms
The document provides strategies and information for teaching content area reading to middle school students. It outlines the purpose of teaching reading strategies which is to help students learn and apply skills like previewing text, activating prior knowledge, acquiring vocabulary, organizing information, and self-monitoring comprehension. The document then lists and describes specific strategies for teachers to use, such as previewing text, using graphic organizers, developing vocabulary, and reciprocal teaching. It also defines common reading terms and provides a framework and overview of the reading process to help teachers structure lessons and assessments.
A Flexible Web-Based Reading Environment
Reading has always been a foundational element of one’s education. The ultimate goal of reading, however, is not limited to word recognition; the reader’s success lies in comprehension. Comprehending a text is undoubtedly a complex process and it is even more difficult for all learners to acquire self-regulating reading skills. A framework of how a web-based reading environment should be designed in order to meet students’ diverse needs and help them develop reading comprehension skills through processes that favor self regulated reading is outlined in this paper. The attempted synthesis is based on the main premises of Self-regulation Theory and the pedagogical approach of Universal Design for Learning, taking advantage of the new possibilities offered by digital texts and Web 2.0 applications.
Literate environment presentation
The document discusses creating a literate learning environment for students through various perspectives and analysis of texts. It describes determining the difficulty of texts using Dr. Hartman's literacy matrix which analyzes texts based on linguistic, informational, semiotic and narrative dimensions. It recommends using "twin texts" which pair fiction and non-fiction books on the same topic. The interactive perspective teaches students reading strategies like questioning and visualizing. The critical perspective has students examine texts from different points of view, while the response perspective allows students to experience and react to what they read through journaling, dramatization or other methods.
Text organization structures introduction
This document discusses different text organization structures that are used in informational texts. It explains that informational texts are organized in various ways to inform or persuade readers. Authors use signal words and transitions to connect ideas between different organizational patterns. Teachers should explicitly teach students about different text structures through mini-lessons that involve discussing examples and having students identify patterns. The goal is for students to understand organizational patterns as a tool to support comprehension.
Teaching Reading Skills
This document discusses teaching reading skills to second language learners. It begins by explaining that reading is an essential part of language learning as it is the basis for using textbooks, writing, and developing other skills. There are two main types of reading: extensive reading aims to gain a general overview, while intensive reading involves careful analysis of sections. Effective reading instruction should help students develop literacy behaviors expected in the target language by employing various reading skills and strategies. These include previewing, predicting, identifying main ideas, making inferences, and adjusting reading speed based on purpose. The document emphasizes the importance of extensive reading to develop positive reading habits and increase fluency.

Examining the Use of Metadiscourse Markers in Academic Writing
Acquiring proficiency in academic writing is becoming increasingly important for academics, irrespective of the academic discipline, given that publications in highly rated, peer-reviewed international journals have a profound impact on how knowledge is constructed through the process of writing. In academic writing, the use of metadiscourse markers is fundamental since academic writers have to write in such a way that they are able to skilfully distinguish opinion from fact. At the same time, they have to assess their affirmations in suitable and convincing ways. Considering the afore-mentioned, this article examines the use of metadiscourse markers in academic writing in which special attention is paid to the use of hedges and boosters. It is a general analysis and mini-review of the use of metadiscourse markers in academic writing. One empirical research article, from the field of Applied Linguistics, is used for this purpose. An introduction is given about academic writing and the need to use metadiscourse markers. Literature review based on metadiscourse markers in academic writing, with particular emphasis on hedges and boosters, is presented and discussed. The methodology of the study is outlined. The results show that there is a greater use of interactives than interactionals: with regard to interactive markers, transitional/logical connectives were most used, followed by endophoric markers, evidentials, and code glosses; with respect to interactional markers, hedges and boosters were the most used in this category with more hedges used as compared to boosters. Finally, concluding remarks are made about the analysis conducted.
Reading in a second language (1)
The document discusses several topics related to reading in a second language including:
1. Bottom-up and top-down models of the reading process where bottom-up involves processing letters and words in order, and top-down uses background knowledge to get meaning from a text.
2. Effective means for building reading fluency like extensive reading, word recognition exercises, and re-reading activities. Extensive reading provides repeated exposure to vocabulary.
3. Skilled readers need mastery of 95% of words in a text for comfortable reading. Context alone is a low-yield strategy for guessing meanings compared to knowing words directly.
4. University L2 readers need knowledge of 10,000 words to understand
ContentLitTwo
This document discusses the importance of teaching students to be critically literate in all content areas. It defines a content literate student as one who can effectively identify, comprehend, interact with, study, internalize and apply important subject matter by possessing strategic reading skills. These include having awareness of text organization and structure in different fields of study. The document outlines a framework for critical literacy instruction and discusses comprehension strategies like inferencing, determining importance, and synthesizing information. It also addresses creating environments where thinking thrives, making thinking visible through think alouds, and providing direct, explicit comprehension strategy instruction.
Helping the students developing.pptdiapo
The document discusses helping students develop coherence and cohesion in writing. It defines coherence as including 5 key features: 1) a clear macrostructure, 2) an appropriate information structure, 3) connectivity between propositions, 4) use of cohesive devices, and 5) appropriate metadiscourse. The document provides examples and explanations of each feature. It recommends teachers provide specific feedback on coherence and have students use checklists to improve their own writing.
Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Crest spring 2017 Summarizing; Creating an Environment for Success
- 5. Although the process of comprehension is complex, at its core, comprehension is based on summarizing—restating content in a succinct manner that highlights the most crucial information. Kintsch, 1974; van Dijk, 1980; van Dijk & Kintsch, 1983 http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational-leadership/mar10/vol67/num06/Summarizing-to-Comprehend.aspx
- 6. Summarizing strategies that do not emphasize text structure have the least powerful effect. The problem with this approach is that it provides no guidance as to how students might differentiate important from unimportant information. To be effective, a summarizing strategy should help students discern the inherent structures in a text. Marzano, 2010
- 7. If it’s not an authentic habit in which readers (and writers) engage then why waste precious time in instruction? Why waste valuable time engaging students in skills they’ll never employ as proficient readers in their adult lives?
- 8. What authentic summarizing skills (habits) can I model for students that will serve them well in their adult lives as proficient readers?
- 9. Summarizing Protocol Read the selection paying close attention to structure Use a *tool to capture the structure from the selection Take information from the *graphic organizer and write a precise, concise summary. (When testing, use the summary criteria to evaluate the BEST summary.)
- 14. As readers interact with the text to construct meaning, their comprehension is facilitated when they organize their thinking in a manner similar to that used by the author. Readers who struggle with text comprehension often do so because they fail to recognize the organizational structure of what they are reading, and they are not aware of cues that alert them to particular text structures. (Cochran & Hain)
- 17. Several factors are responsible for the possible extinction of elephants. Poachers kill elephants for their valuable ivory, and growing communities encroach on the elephants’ habitat. Conservationists want to stop the sale of ivory and encourage African communities to maintain animal parks as safe havens for elephants. Which of these statements best summarizes the sections titled “Distress Call and How Will We Answer”?
