Description
Summary:Comprehending content is a series of four videotapes from Chris Tovani's high school classroom at Smoky Hill High in Aurora, Colorado. Cris teaches three classes of students at this high school: two sections of struggling readers in her reading workshop classes and one section of college-bound seniors in her college prep class. In the afternoons, Cris coaches her colleages in using reading strategies across the curriculum. Comprehending content shows Cris at work in both roles: helping students apply strategies in diverse academic disciplines and helping colleagues as they test the use of strategy instruction in content areas. The tapes show a range of student reading abilities--from struggling to accomplished--and texts--from novels to charts and math problems.
