M

Main Ideas

1. Canines are well trained dogs.

2. Balto and Togo are well honored dogs within the

community and gifted statutes in their remembrances.

emerging epidemic.

U

Understanding

(What does the author want

me to remember about this?)

Each time I watched this video the song “ World’s Greatest”

stood out the most to me. The song being played in the

background is conveying that this was a great event and paid

tribute to the greatest dog who made it possible ( canine).

Ultimately the author want wants us to remember how much of

contribution the dog made to stop the spread of the disease

beyond Nome , Alaska.

D

Significant Details

1. Although many breeds of dogs contributed to this great

act (huskies) , canine dogs played the biggest role.

2. Many dogs lost their lives saving other lives.

3. Togo should have received more recognition than he

received for performing in such courageous ways.

4. Seppala and Togo covered the most miles.

“Graphic Organizer are important and effective pedagogical tools for organizing content and

ideas and facilitating learners’ comprehension of newly acquired information (McKnight , 2010).

MUD stands for Main Ideas, Understanding and Details. The MUD organizer is a great strategy

to implement especially for close readings. Using this strategy can help student pull out specific

details throughout the story and ultimately lead to overall improvement of comprehension skills.

The use of this strategy helps students dissect the text repeatedly. Repeatedly allow the student to

identify something new within the text each time.

Each time I watched the video I learned something new, and gained a new overall perspective

of what the video was trying to convey. Being that I do not have much background knowledge on

Serum Run, each time I viewed the video I learned something new. Upon initially watching the

video I was a bit lost, but I understood it had something to do with heroic dogs. Being that I was

lost I had to go read the story that was provided to clear up some of the confusion. Immediately

after reading the story everything was so clear to mean I was actually able to form a connection

to another text (cartoon) “ Balto”, one of my childhood cartoons. Tying the background

knowledge provides by the text and the lyrics of the song “World Greatest” I was able to deeper

comprehend the video.

If could implement this into my classroom setting I would use the organizer in group settings.

I would also make an engaging activity using key details and vocabulary words. I can improve

this activity by making games out of the vocabulary words and then review the words. I could

use the differentiations of the two activities to initiate class discussions and do some journaling.
