EXPLANATORY NOTE:  This assignment does NOT require a formal lesson plan (although you are welcome to submit one if you desire).  It IS asking you to select 4 of the comprehension strategies discussed in the lectures or that you’ve identified through your own readings and describe exactly how you will use this text to explicitly instruct students on how to use that strategy to improve reading comprehension (the focus of the lesson is the strategy, not the text).  A more than a simple listing or description of activities that use the strategy is required.  I’m looking for your method to actively engage the students in using the comprehension strategies (“the teacher will” focus, not “the student will”).

In a 4 page paper, discuss your understanding of qualitative methods and quantitative methods. Then, discuss your understanding of formative and summative evaluations. Choose a combination of qualitative and quantitative measures for a formative (on-going) then a summative (final outcome) evaluation of each of your eight outcomes. For example, if you had an outcome that stated that 30-day use of alcohol among adolescents would be reduced by 50 percent, you could use an annual underage drinking survey to plot if a percentage of teens are consuming less alcohol in a 30-day period. This is considered a quantitative method. You could also gather a listening group of 10–12 adolescents who would be open, honest, and knowledgeable, and ask their perception of alcohol consumption among teens. This is considered a qualitative method. You may choose to use the listening sessions as formative evaluation and pre-and post-survey for summative evaluation. You need to rely on scholarly sources to defend your choices for all items listed above.
