Book 8: PREPARE Process for Teachers
PREPARE is a set of tasks that provide a process students will use to help with
their studying, reading, writing, and comprehension. The steps include:
Preview; Read; Examine; Pick what’s important (highlight); Arrange (extract
text); Rework (take extracted text and summarize); and Explain. This process
will help students identify key information from text, summarize that
information, and then use their summaries to write different genres of text.
The following is an overview of the tasks a teacher must complete. The end
result is a file known as a PAL document.
Before You Begin
Before you begin, you will need to think about and gather your source material
for the PAL project. Keep the following in mind.
First, you must have an account with Teacher permissions. PAL files can
only be created when using a Teacher account.
You need to identify the scope of the project; think about questions and
instructions that will help students complete the assignment
You must bring information into WYNN. You can do this by scanning
material into WYNN, using the Freedom Import Printer to bring PDF or
Word files into WYNN, or by typing into a blank document in WYNN.
Once your material is in WYNN, you can then save it using the PAL
(WYP) format.
If your source material includes Web pages or audio files or other
documents stored in a network folder, you will be providing links so that
students can download files and visit Web pages
