Missing+Words

Rationale:
I would use this strategy because I want my students to use prior knowledge and thinking skills to determine ideas in the text.

Course:
Geometry – The entire year. This strategy is implemented with ninth and tenth grade Geometry students who need to be able to read well.

Diverse learners:
This strategy would mostly benefit the Visual learner who will be seeing the missing words.

Procedure:
1. The teacher will select missing words from key definitions, postulates and theorems. 2. The students will determine the missing words from the reading. 3. The teacher will go over the correct answers.

Potential Issues:
A problem that might occur is that students may become frustrated with not being able to determine correct answers.
