=What you should do for our last class meeting. =

1. Read the last chapters of Beers (11, 12, 13) and finish Gallagher. Be able to discuss the crucial points.
===2. Review: Be able to use the terms listed in the syllabus under the May 30th schedule, and confirm that you can answer the essential questions provided in the. I'll give a quiz on terms and questions. === ===3. Provide information on the two reading tests you researched: why are these tests used, by whom, and what are their strengths and weaknesses? === ===4. Give a presentation of your reading with a partner project (case study assignment). Please use this as a guideline for your presentation. ===

[5. Case Study Written Report. Note the student sample (Hahka) below. That case study, while similar to yours, is not exactly the same assignment as yours. The sample is provided to illustrate strong writing: conversational, appropriate use of terminology, and strong integration of research. But this is an undergrad project based on a semester of tutoring, in-class discussion, and other linked assignments. So please don't try to replicate this report when you compose yours.I expect high quality, but the aims of the two assignments are subtly different. As discussed, I will post an "I" grade for anyone whose final report is not handed by 5pm on 6/22. //Anything handed in after 8/20 will not be accepted.]// =====

__FINAL PROJECT RUBRICS__ "TERM PAPER" (However, I'm not asking for critical evaluation of resources) CASE STUDY PRESENTATION RUBRIC http://www.ncsu.edu/midlink/rub.pres.html


 * U****nderstanding reading, readers, and contexts of reading**--we'll do this through a cognitive scientist's eyes, through analysis of our own experiences, and through studying texts that provide additional perspectives on the topic.

We'll add reading problems and disabilities to our work once we settle on an understanding of reading.

Then we'll apply some diagnostic and "instructional" procedures to understanding a real adolescent reader, assessing her progress and our own understandings as we complete a case study of our reading experiences.

SAMPLE TEXTS (an example of an undergrad tutoring memo and case study report; pretty well-written, includes tutor logs aka fieldnotes)
