Pre-AP: Topics for AP Vertical Teams in Social Studies -- Developing Reading Habits
This one-day workshop gives social studies teachers new strategies to develop their students’ ability to read critically. The workshop is based on the premise that a coherent, articulated program of effective reading strategies will improve student performance in essay writing by giving students a framework that allows them to develop their writing proficiency. Although individual teachers will benefit from the strategies presented here, the power of the strategies is best realized through an AP Vertical Team that spans social studies classes (grades 6–12) at both the levels prior to AP and the AP-level. Topics addressed include reading research, questioning grids, main idea clusters, text charting, reading pods, and utilizing the AP Vertical Team to develop analytical and critical reading skills.
