Kevin Clarke Tex Noes T E A C H E R R E S O U R C E These ex noes idenify a number of insrucional possibiliies ha may emerge from sudens reading of Kevin Clarke. Be aware of schema or background knowledge ha conribues o undersanding he ex, ways ha his paricular ex srucure can be invesigaed, and ways o make conen connecions o he heme of he uni he Essenial Quesions abou lieracy, power, and why people read. Schema Gone Wih he Wind. Kevin describes haing a girl in his fourh grade class who was reading Gone Wih he Wind. Sudens may no recognize i as a very long novel wrien for aduls. Cliff Noes. When Kevin refers o buying Cliff Noes for A Tale of Two Ciies, many sudens will recognize Cliff Noes as a shorcu o undersanding assigned novels. Explici Passages. Sudens will probably have schema o relae o Kevin s ineres in he explici passages in Wifey ha his summer pals read o him. Themaic Connecions Reading Negaiviy. Kevin s sruggles wih reading provide opporuniies o surface he negaive reading experiences and negaive self-image ha many sruggling readers will share wih him: A eacher who equaes reading problems wih supidiy (as Kevin and many sruggling readers also do) Frusraion wih reading difficulies on he par of he eacher and he suden Feeling hared oward good readers Concerned parens who push sudens o read (in his case, for fun ) Copyrigh Feeling lef ou when ohers read WesEd Finding one book he enjoyed (undersood), bu hen being afraid o ry anoher book since he was bewildered by wha acually helped him undersand i Feeling in general ha reading is a wase of ime unless he undersands he book, which is rare. (This is a very nice connecion o he course: Indeed, reading wihou undersanding is a wase of ime, so how do we go abou undersanding wha we read? Wha are some hings we can do when we don undersand?) No rusing himself o read i righ Having difficuly concenraing, being disraced when rying o read Feeling embarrassmen and shame LESSON 7 TEXT STUDY OF KEVIN CLARKE 151

Meacogniion. Kevin s musing abou wha good readers mus do and his own sraegies when reading are a model for sudens of an inernal meacogniive conversaion: People who read all he ime mus ge somehing ou of i ha I jus haven experienced, Kevin says (p. 8). He goes on o lis some possibiliies: They mus ake in he maerial and really undersand i. They mus be ineresed in whaever hey re reading abou. They mus find ineresing hings in a book afer hey sar reading. Here is an opporuniy o explore he role of finding a book ha ineress you, as well as finding hings of ineres in wha you mus read. Reading Sraegies. Kevin liss he sraegies he employs when reading, and hose he does no: He does no hear he voices of he characers. He does ry o envision. As far as schema go, he ries o relae characers in books o people he s seen before, and because places are hard o imagine, he borrows a place ha he s been before. These ideas can lead o a conversaion abou he kinds of hings sudens do when hey read and should be linked o he Reading Sraegies Lis. Avoiding Reading. Kevin s sraegies for avoiding reading can open a discussion of how sudens may also avoid reading asking a friend o ell hem he conen, waiing for he eacher o lecure, finding he answers o specific quesions wihou reading, ec. Tex Srucure Wriing Devices and Roadblocks. Kevin ges very deailed in a couple of places abou he sources of his confusion and comprehension problems: When reading Wifey, he loses rack when i go ino wha she was hinking ; and when reading Brave New World, he knows he sruggles when he sory shifs from one characer alking o anoher wihou obvious signals o he reader of his change. These wriing devices, which can make weaker readers sumble, offer los of opporuniies o read he codes of differen forms of wriing. Here, i is very imporan ha Kevin is aware of he specific aspecs of exs ha make him confused he roadblocks o comprehension. This can be helpful in geing sudens o be specific abou he roadblocks ha cause hem confusion, as well. 152 R E A D I N G A P P R E N T I C E S H I P ACADEMIC LITERACY COURSE
