Research Based Strategies


It is kind of hard to compare the power point quiz and my reading assignment.  The quiz had nothing to do with homework or practice.  However, if you look at the information given on the site and compare how the quiz was given and received then a comparison can be made.  The power point quiz did not support anything in my assigned project-based reading strategy, which was Homework and Practice.  According to the project based strategy you need to give homework and practice that expands on what students already know.  They need plenty of time and practice in order to obtain the proper understanding.  Students need lots of feedback, and not only when they are making mistakes.  The power point quiz did not explore or touch on any of these aspects.  We were not allowed to get help from anyone other then the teacher, we were rushed, and all instructions were completely the same even, though we all learn differently.  To improve this assignment more time needs to be given.  Better or varied instructions need to be given and, allow students to interact with each other.  According to the article students need lots of time and practice to learn new concepts and strategies, therefore more time needs to be given and make sure students have an idea of what is going on before to rush them through something and then test them on it.
