¿Encontraría usted útil algún tipo de instrumento que les ofreciera a sus alumnos la posibilidad de mantener un archivo de datos y reacciones ante los textos que van leyendo?

Se ofrecen aquí, para su consideración, cuatro instrumentos diferentes entre los cuales usted podrá, si quiere, escoger. Se espera que alguno o algunos le sirvan, ya sea en la forma presentada o bien modificados por usted según las necesidades de su propia situación escolar.

El primero fue creado por Ken Stewart, Chapel Hill High School, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, y ofrece la capacidad de guardar toda la información anotada en una sola hoja. Se sugiere que usted los fotocopie en colores que se contrasten, para fines de organización y como dispositivo nemónico.

El segundo fue creado por la Dra. Norma W. Guice, Shaker Heights High School, Shaker Heights, Ohio, y realmente son dos: uno para obras en verso y el otro para obras en prosa. Con el tiempo y el entrenamiento, algunos alumnos prefieren ir completando el informe mientras van leyendo. Estos informes (si los hacen bien hechos y a conciencia) les servirán para estudiar para el examen, porque no será necesario releer todo el material para recordar personajes, acción, temas, etc.

El tercero plantea preguntas que se espera ayuden a los estudiantes a ver que existe la posibilidad de lecturas alternativas en cuanto a los textos del currículo de AP Literatura. Si al comienzo del año el alumno típico no posee la sofisticación para contestar algunas de las preguntas planteadas, podrá dejar éstas en blanco, volviendo de vez en cuando a sus resúmenes archivados para agregar ideas facilitadas por su creciente pericia como lector. Fue creado por Bonnie Bowen, Ventura College, Ventura, California.
