This workshop led by Doug Buehl focuses on developing students' ability to engage with texts meaningfully through the "Questioning the Author" strategy. Participants will explore how to help students inform themselves and access knowledge independently while meeting the challenges of the Common Core across disciplines. Emphasizing close reading, questioning, and clarifying, the session will provide practical modeling tips and strategies to enhance understanding and foster a collaborative reading experience between readers and authors.

A literacy strategy from Doug Buehl Questioning the Author *CESA 6 Literacy Workshop December 4th, 2013
Learning Target: • Students will develop the capacity to inform themselves and to access the knowledge and practices of the discipline without needing someone to tell them or show them. The Focus: • Disciplinary Literacy: meeting the challenge of the common core in all disciplines
The Reading Task • Readers need to “work the text” to come to an understanding with the author • Close reading = questioning or clarifying
Setting the Tone Both the reader and the author have responsibilities in making text meaningful • “Meeting of the minds” • Model the Strategy
Tips for Modeling • Recalibrate the language • Author, not article or text • Working the text and building knowledge, not reading the text • Model as a student • Make mistakes they might make • Clarify • Use a timer to maximize productivity
