Partner+Reading+Video+and+Explanation

This video is a partnered reading activity where I had the students read a history article together aloud. In order to better engage the partners I required that they read a portion/paragraph and then stop and ask their partner a question about what they read in order to check one of two things: 1.) To assure that their partner was reading along with them and 2.) To assure that the reader themselves understood or comprehended what they themselves were reading. As always students were reminded to preview questions in advance to reading so that when they came upon an answer they were able to highlight their text evidence. media type="custom" key="26520652"
