Reading Road Map

CREATING​ ​A​ ​READING​ ​ROAD​ ​MAP​ ​INSTRUCTIONS

Purpose:

A​ ​Reading Road Map​ guides​ ​ students ​​through the​ reading ​ ​process ​by demonstrating​ how​reading​ rate​ ​and​ ​the​ ​reading​ ​process​ ​varies​ ​depending​ ​on​ ​the​ ​text​ ​and ​ the​ reader’s​ ​ ​strategies, ​ background​ knowledge, ​and​ ​interest. ​ ​You​ ​will​ ​create​ ​a​ ​Reading​ ​Road​ ​Map​ ​based​ ​on​ ​the ​ assigned​ reading​ from​ ​Macbeth. An Exemplar will be provided. However, you will recreate the reading road map to assess your understanding of the text using the following question stems:

Procedure:

Complete​ ​the​ ​assigned​ ​reading​ ​of​ Macbeth​. ​This​ ​assignment​ ​is​ due​​ ​by Sunday, February 21, ​ 2021​. ​

1) Determine​ ​which​ ​areas/details ​you​ want​ to​ ​emphasize​ throughout​ reading. ​

2) Begin​ ​your​ ​Reading​ ​Road​ ​Map​ ​(RRM)​ ​by​ creating​ ​​a​ ​Google​ ​document. ​ (Do​ ​not​ use​​ ​the Teacher’s ​ example​ RRM​ ​as your base document. ​ ​

3) Start​ a​ ​ new​ document, ​ ​as​ ​you​ ​will​ ​be​ ​creating​ ​your​ ​own​ ​RRM.)

4) Type​ ​the​ ​title​ ​of​ ​the​ ​road​ ​map.

5) Add​ ​shapes​ ​to​ your​ ​ ​document. ​​To​ ​add​ a​ ​shape, click the Insert​ tab and​ click​ ​Shapes. Select​ ​a​ ​shape​ ​and​ ​then ​click and​ drag​ to​ ​draw​ the​ shape. ​

6) Drag​ ​the​ ​shape​ ​to​ ​its​ location​ and​ right​ ​ ​click; select​ ​

7) Add​ ​Text. Now​ you can​ ​type ​your information​ ​in​ ​the​ ​shape.

8) Repeat​ ​steps​ ​5–6, ​ ​inserting​ ​arrows​ ​to​ depict​ ​​the​ ​correct ​ steps​ ​to​ follow. ​

9) Review​ ​the​ ​entire​ ​RRM​ ​to​ ​make ​sure​ ​it​ ​ flows​ properly. ​

10) Complete​ ​the​ ​RRM​ ​by​ ​filling​ ​in​ ​the​ ​correct ​answers​ on​ each​ shape. ​

11) Save​ ​the​ ​document​ ​as ​ Firstname_​“Lastname_RRM.doc”​ ​(or​ ​.docx).

Benefits:

Students​ ​learn​ ​how​ ​to​ ​adjust​ ​their​ ​reading​ ​speed​ ​and​ ​purpose ​for​ reading.​ Teachers​ are​ ​able to​ work​ ​with​ individual​ students​ while​ ​​other ​students are​ ​working​ on​ ​ ​their​ ​road​ maps.​​ ​These ​​mini conferences​ ​allow​ ​the​ ​teacher​ ​to​ ​determine​ ​who​ ​is​ ​struggling ​ and​ offer​​ ​immediate advice.​Students​ ​say​ ​they​ ​like​ ​this​ ​strategy ​ because​ they​ feel​ ​more​ ​involved​ ​in​ ​the​ learning​​ ​process:​ the​ teacher​ ​is​ ​not​ ​the​ ​one​ ​doing​ ​all​ ​the​ ​talking. Use this as your study guide for future assessments and critical summaries. All of the information is at your fingertips!

The​ ​following​ ​document​ ​is​ ​an​ ​example​ ​of​ ​what​ ​your ​ RRM​ ​could​ ​look​ ​ ​like. Do​ not use​ ​the​material​ ​or​ ​the​ ​shapes​ ​as​ ​a​ ​template—create​ ​your​ ​own​ ​RRM.

Submit​ ​this​ ​assignment​ ​by​ ​11:59​ ​p.m.​ ​(CT)​ ​on​ ​Sunday​ ​of​ ​02/21/2021.
