Foundations of Max Teaching
This is the primary method advocated by Max Teaching for engaging students in content learning.
What is reading and writing?
This is the first stage in the Max Teaching framework.
What is before reading?
Max Teaching emphasizes that this is not passive, but an active mental process.
What is reading?
This "KWL" strategy asks students what they know, want to know, and have learned.
What is a KWL chart?
According to Max Teaching, this should be done by teachers before every lesson to ensure success.
What is planning?
This term describes using class texts to drive instruction instead of relying mostly on lectures.
What is text-centered instruction?
During this phase, students actively engage with the text to understand key ideas.
What is during reading?
This type of knowledge must be activated to connect new learning to what students already know.
What is prior knowledge?
Highlighting, margin notes, and summarizing are part of this during-reading skill.
What is annotation?
This method involves the teacher showing how to apply a reading strategy.
What is modeling?
The "Max" in Max Teaching stands for this.
What is Maximizing Academic Learning?
This is the stage where students summarize and reflect on what they read.
What is after reading?
This method of thinking aloud shows students how readers process difficult texts.
What is a think-aloud?
This classroom structure improves learning through peer discussions and collaboration.
What is collaborative learning?
Teachers should do this less over time as students become more independent readers.
What is scaffolding?
According to Chapter 1, this skill is essential for understanding and retaining academic content.
What is literacy?
This strategy is used during the "before reading" stage to spark curiosity.
What is an anticipation guide?
This term describes helping students understand how they think about what they read.
What is metacognition?
This vocabulary technique involves learning new words through how they’re used in reading.
What is learning vocabulary in context?
Establishing these in the classroom can help maximize instructional time.
What are predictable routines?
This type of instruction allows all teachers to support literacy regardless of subject.
What is content-area reading and writing instruction?
This post-reading activity helps students reinforce their learning through writing.
What is writing to learn?
These tools visually represent ideas and relationships in a text.
What are graphic organizers?
These guides, used before reading, help students predict content and clarify thinking.
What are anticipation guides?
Teachers across all content areas are expected to contribute to this aspect of student development.
