| Summary: | This guide presents reading-focused learning projects and accompanying inquiry activities to help students pass the language arts/reading portion of the General Education Development (GED) Test 2002. Section 1 relates GED as project to the reading portion of the GED and explains how inquiry activities used Official GED Reading Practice Test questions as stimuli and can serve as models for teacher-designed activities. It introduces the template for reading inquiry activities, a series of steps and questions that fulfill the learner-centered thinking and process this guide proposes. Section 2, an introductory learning project that helps learners comprehend and internalize information about the GED, is entitled "GED Language Arts, Reading and You." The two inquiry activities are based on the template described in volume 1 of this series. The reading template is also the basis for the inquiry activities found in these eight learning projects: Identifying the Kinds of Questions on the GED Reading Test; Reading Drama; Reading Stories; Reading Business Documents; Reading Stories ; Reading Reviews; Reading Poetry; and Reading Stories . (The template is a five-step inquiry process that consists of the following steps: identify the problem; become familiar with the problem; planning, assigning, and performing; sharing with others; and reflecting, extending, and evaluating.) Appendices include a document entitled "Learning from Text: A Multidimensional and Developmental Perspective,""think alouds" for the eight learning projects, and a graphic organizer. Contains six references. (MO) |
