EDRG 3344 T&R HIGH SCHOOL YEARS!!!!!


High school years!!!!!!!!!!!




Just remember my high school years makes feel any kind of motions, were the most awesome four years of my life. I was enough to do mostly everything, I didn't have any huge responsabilities, I made tons of good memories with my friends.
It was a huge class. I was not a popular girl but I had a small group of true friends, I value all the fun times that I spend with them, I really enjoy the company of my friends, I'm so lucky for having them as a friends, you can't find such nice friends like them, were always supporting me in bad times or good times. We enjoy fun parties, skipping class, homecoming, football games, prom, graduation memories that I will never forget. It was absolutely fun while it lasted. Of course there were plenty of dramas, anger, hatred, fighting, trouble, personal issues and there but they were part of growing up too. If I could live my high school years over again then I definitely would.

Chapter 3



Chapter 3 deal with Reading Comprehension, understanding what you reading, some readers just read words without really knowing what it's all about. If we can read and understand what we reading, that's comprehension. The role of a teacher is to activating prior knowledge to readers, improving their reading skills, prequestions of what they read, motivated readers to think of what they read. Reading comprehension is one the most important skill that we need to had in order to become a good reader. Teacher must expose students as much new vocabulary as possible, to improve the comprehension of struggling reader teacher must apply building comprehension, disscuss lesson before reading, make connections or compare their life with characters in the book.
