A popular method for engaging in repeated readings to build fluency and comprehension is Reader’s Theater. It is the public performance of a scripted text, but unlike traditional theater, the lines are not memorized, and props, movement, and other acting devices are not used. Create a Reader’s Theater Script for a content area topic or text.
An Ion to Remember Narrator: Somewhere in a solution, we find our hero atom, Calvin Chloride, wandering, unaware that his life is about to change forever. Calvin: (sing-songy)La, la, la, la. Being a halogen… doo dee doo… (sees electron on ground) Whoa. What’s this? Narrator: That tiny subatomic particle, that seemingly insignificant thing. Who knew it would make such a difference? Certainly not Calvin. Calvin: (pick up the electron) BBBBBBZZZZZZZ. Whoa. I don’t feel so good. I am starting to feel really…. Negative… Narrator: milliseconds turned into hundredths of seconds, which turned into seconds, and Calvin could not shake that negative feeling. Calvin: I know. I will go see one of The Noble Gases. One of them will know what to do. Narrator: So, Calvin left his home and ventured far across the land. Just when he was about to give up, Helium floated by. Helium: Hi dee ho there, fellow element. Nice weather for flying today. Calvin: Helium! A Nobel Gas! Just who I needed to see! I need some advice. You see- Helium: Advice! Oh yes! Go with the wind! Byyyyyyyyeeeeeee! (exits) Narrator: Some say the Nobel Gases are sages, but other say they are full of hot air. Even if he wanted to give advice, Helium wouldn’t know much about the issues surrounding having too many electrons because his outer most electron shell is always full. Calvin: Well, I guess I will just give up. No one can help me. I am destined to be negative all the time… Narrator: So, Calvin returned to his home, disheartened. Ironically, the solution to his problems is right where he began. A DAY LATER Calvin: Well, with the solution drying up, I get I better get on my way. (sees Susan Sodium) HUBBA HUBBA! Who is that fine piece of metal? She looks so… Positive. I don’t know how to react to this girl. Susan Sodium: I am so, so, SO happy to meet you! I am Susan Sodium. Isn’t it a great day? I know the solution has dried up, but things are always looking up! Calvin: I am Calvin Chloride. Good to meet you I guess. Why are you so positive? Susan: Well, I don’t know, but ever since I lost an electron, I have been ON TOP OF THE PERIODIC TABLE! Figuratively, of course. Calvin: Wait, is this your electron? (holds electron out toward Susan.) Susan: Wow! That is it! It looks good on you though. You should keep it. Calvin: What a journey. All this time, I had your electron, and you were so close by. I think we’re really going to- Susan: Bond? Me too. (Both look lovingly at each other.) Narrator: So, Calvin and Susan moved into a compound with many like-minded ions, and they lived happily ever after.
Two students who were hoping to be accepted into graduate school were discussing the results of their graduate entrance examination. Joe had taken the exam in January and had scored very poorly. He placed at the 30th percentile. He re-took the exam in June and did much better. His score improved to the 45th percentile. Mary had scored at the 79th percentile. Joe was trying to persuade Mary to re-take the exam because her grade would probably go up as his had. Assuming that practice effects are not an issue, would you agree with Joe's theory? What statistical explanation would you give to explain Joe's improvement in score?
What will be an ideal response?
