Talk:Appropriate Meaning-Making Strategies/ Forms for Critical analysis for understanding Text and Novels/@comment-28495467-20160522175603

Making notes and illustrations are wonderful tools, they appeal to the visual and creative learner. Imagining the scenes in your mind really helps the reader connect to the work. I love that these strategies are so different and every reader can choose what best fits their learning style. I also use KWL charts to connect to themes and texts, putting prior knowledge into a text related context makes that bridge between reality and text solid and accessible. Students do not feel so removed from the text once they can make a personal connection and have that connection be the basis for finding meaning and/or purpose in a text.
