More thoughts about pirate reading.
Within these articles there were different ideas as to how approach and organize students thoughts during the instruction. These ideas were usually charts and diagrams that can be easily modified regardless of the subject being taught. One method is the trusty old KWL, where students state what they already know (K), want to know (W) and what was learned (L). Another method is the Double Entry Diary where students have one column that states what the passages says and the other column for what that passage means. This method can help students organize thoughts about the read passages.
