WEBSITES
PREPARATION
| 1. | Read The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles to gain an understanding of Ruby Bridges and her life. You may also want to browse for information about her online at The Ruby Bridges Foundation. |
| 2. | Use ReadingQuest.org: Question-Answer Relationships as well as the printouts listed in Other Resources to find more information about the question-answer relationship (QAR) technique. Another recommended resource is the book Guided Comprehension: A Teaching Model for Grades 3-8 by Maureen McLaughlin and Mary Beth Allen. |
| 3. | Print the QAR posters, Right There, Author and Me, On My Own, Think and Search, and either post them in your classroom or copy them onto transparencies to present to students. |
| 4. | Gather three instructional-level texts that match the needs of three levels of reading in your class (see Suggested Booklist for Civil Rights). In preparation for the teacher-guided small-group instruction (see Stage 2), create a comprehension sheet for each of the texts that you select reflecting all of the QAR types. |
