D007 – Task 1: Secondary ELA
A. To help Maya comprehend the academic language in the essay prompt for her university
admission, we will work on active reading. This includes strategies such as underlining,
highlighting, notes, questions, and explaining. “Active reading helps readers stay focused and
engaged, facilitates comprehension and retention, and creates a visual record of the reading
experience and the relevant information in a text,” (Active Reading, n.d.).
• Develop Background Knowledge:
To help Maya develop background knowledge, she will need to understand the academic
language of the university admission essay prompt. I will review words and topics that
are commonly used with these essay prompts. She will then read through the essay
prompt from the university she wants to go to. She will use her self-monitoring checklist
during this first time reading through it.
• Discuss It:
I will talk with Maya about the benefits of using active reading and when to use it. We
will discuss how active reading helps the reader stay focused by engaging with the
content. This is done by using a variety of strategies that can be used for any text that you
want to deeply understand the content. Strategies like underlining, highlighting, notes,
questions, and explaining can help achieve this goal.
• Model It:
I will then model these strategies for Maya to see. I will read through an admissions essay
