Description:
Students will sign up to present a strategy (from the Serravallo text you use in TRLA - citation below) that would be useful in teaching students to comprehend nonfiction text in social studies instruction. This minilesson is VERY similar to the one you create for the reading strategy in TRLA 1 & 2. However, if you’ve already had TRLA 2, you MUST choose a different reading strategy to present. The text you choose for this minilesson MUST be focused on a social science area (geography, civics, or economics), depending on your presentation day.
