Character Web

Based on the text, "What's after assessment?" by Kathleen Strickland a Comprehension strategy for post-reading can include activities that recall content, encourage reader response, and are extensions of the text.

The activity above is a character web, where students are instructed to give detailed information about each character and show their relationship to one another by using a web design.

An additional activity to recall content and utilize the information in this character web, would be to do a quilt exercise. Students would be instructed to research two of the provided questions based on the reading. Once they were comfortable with the answers they gave for their questions they would continue around the room filling in the rest of the questions by trading with other students.

  1. Does this accurately satisfy one of the three opportunities for comprehension strategy instruction?
