Comprehension strategies are behaviors used by students to aid understanding of texts at different thinking levels, from literal to critical. Instructional strategies are methods teachers use to support comprehension, including collaborative grouping and offering text choices. The lesson plan example used the synthesize strategy and collaborative grouping to develop critical thinking about character development. Both comprehension and instructional strategies are necessary to help all students become successful readers.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Defining Comprehension Strategies and Instructional Strategies
1. Defining Comprehension Strategies and
Instructional Strategies
By
Marilyn Velez
READ-6707R-1
Reading and Literacy Growth
Walden University
2. What is Metacognition?
“Metacognition is a complex process that involves
understanding what literacy learners know about
their reading abilities. The learner also needs to
know when to apply specific skills in order to
comprehend the text” (Laureate Education, 2014i).
3. What is Reading Comprehension?
“Reading comprehension is composed of two
equally important components. Decoding, or the
ability to translate text into speech...The other part is
language comprehension, or the ability to
understand spoken language.” (SEDL, 2013).
Students must understand what they are reading to
gain knowledge and experience from their reading,
to enjoy the process of reading, and to become
lifelong readers.
4. What is Reading Comprehension?
“Comprehension involves different levels of
thinking, from literal to inferential, critical, and
evaluative.” (Tompkins, 2010, p. 257).
An advanced reader is fluent, accurate, and uses
cognitive and metacognitive decoding and
comprehension strategies to be successful at
understanding the meaning of the text at all levels of
thinking.
5. What are Comprehension Strategies?
Comprehension strategies are behaviors used by the
student to aid understanding of the text.
“Some strategies are cognitive-they involve
thinking; others are metacognitive-students reflect
on their thinking.” (Tompkins, 2010, p. 260).
6. Examples of Comprehension Strategies
Use schema – Activate relevant background
knowledge, or schema, before, during, and after
reading; use this knowledge to process new
information.
Synthesize – While reading, organize and evaluate
understandings, adjusting the main ideas on an
ongoing basis. After reading, develop an integrated
representation of the text, including significant
ideas and details.
(Hollenbeck, & Saternus, 2013, p. 560).
7. Why use Comprehension Strategies?
Comprehension strategies are essential for students
to become motivated to read.
“These successful readers are metacognitive. They
plan their reading in relation to specific goals, and
they monitor and evaluate their reading as it
progresses. These readers are motivated and
engaged. (Afflerbach, Cho, Kim, Crassas, & Doyle,
2013, p. 440).
8. Why use Comprehension Strategies?
Comprehension strategies are essential for students
to become critical thinkers.
“The readers' epistemic beliefs are developing-they
know that authors write for different purposes, that
texts can be biased, and that not everything in print
is necessarily 'true'” (Afflerbach, Cho, Kim, Crassas,
& Doyle, 2013, p. 440).
9. Why use Comprehension Strategies?
Comprehension strategies are essential for students
to become confident readers.
“Finally, these successful readers have high self-
efficacy- they expect to be challenged by different
texts and tasks, and they expect to meet those
challenges. (Afflerbach, Cho, Kim, Crassas, &
Doyle, 2013, p. 440).
These affective aspects of reading comprehension –
motivation, engagement, epistemic beliefs, and self-
efficacy – emotionally connects students to texts.
10. What are Instructional Strategies?
Instructional strategies are those strategies that
teachers use to aid and support reading
comprehension.
“And so as teachers support reading
comprehension ...creating the collaborative,
supportive, and cooperative conditions in a
classroom that allow children to dialog and talk
about texts, ask each other questions and help each
other learn from texts in a group team setting.”
(Laureate Education, 2014g, p. 1-2).
11. Examples of Instructional Strategies
Teachers placing students in collaborative groups
for the purposes of reading comprehension.
“...the teacher needs to create the conditions, the
procedures, the routines and the understandings
necessary in the classroom for productive
collaborative and cooperative group work.”
(Laureate Education, 2014g, p. 1).
12. Examples of Instructional Strategies
Teachers providing the appropriate text selections or
choices of texts for students.
“...it appears that offering students a choice of texts
to read is a far more powerful incentive to engage
with a text...perhaps three or four literature
selections of equal complexity and length from
which students may choose will give them a
stronger motivation to read and yield better
instructional outcomes.” (Reutzel, & Cooter, 2016,
p. 298-299).
13. Why use Instructional Strategies?
Using these strategies are essential in aiding
students in reading comprehension, motivation, and
critical thinking.
“...offering students a choice of texts to read resulted
in a whopping .32 percentile point
increase...Research also indicates that encouraging
students to collaborate with each other in structured
discussion of assigned literature significantly
increases their motivation to read.” (Reutzel, &
Cooter, 2016, p. 298-299)
14. Example Lesson Plan
● Bright Morning: Exploring Character Development
in Fiction. (readwritethink.org.)
● The purpose of this lesson is to guide
comprehension in critical thinking as to how authors
develop and express character traits in texts.
15. Comprehension Strategy
The synthesize strategy was the comprehension
strategy used in this lesson.
Synthesize – While reading, organize and evaluate
understandings, adjusting the main ideas on an
ongoing basis. After reading, develop an integrated
representation of the text, including significant
ideas and details.
(Hollenbeck, & Saternus, 2013, p. 560).
16. Instructional Strategy
The collaborative grouping strategy was the
instructional strategy used in this lesson.
Teachers placing students in collaborative groups
for the purposes of reading comprehension.
“...the teacher needs to create the conditions, the
proced.sary in the classroom for productive
collaborative and cooperative group work.”
(Laureate Education, 2014g, p. 1).
17. Modifications for Struggling, Emergent,
Transional Readers and/or ELL Students
Graphic Organizers - “Graphic organizers are visual
representations of key story elements and the
interrelationships among these parts.” (Reutzel, &
Cooter, 2016, p. 314).
Sentence Frames - “Students often struggle finding
just the right words to explain, describe, and clarify
what they are thinking. One way to help students,
and further engage English language learners in
class discussions, is to provide sentence frames.
(teachersites.schoolworld.com)
18. Conclusion
Comprehension strategies are those strategies used
by the students to aid them in reading and
comprehending texts at multiple levels.
Instructional strategies are those strategies used by
the teacher to aid students in comprehension,
motivation, and critical thinking of texts.
Both types of strategies are needed in the classroom
to aid students, whether they are emergent,
transitional or advanced readers, in becoming
successful, lifelong, learners.
