00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:05,730
Voiceover: Collaborative Strategic Reading,
or CSR, combines two instructional practices

00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:09,900
that many teachers already implement in
their fourth-grade classrooms: comprehension

00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:12,770
strategy instruction and cooperative
learning.

00:00:12,770 --> 00:00:18,750
Mr. Shaw: We've been working on a lot of
pieces to a puzzle. The puzzle is CSR. Who

00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:23,460
can tell me what CSR stands for? JD?

00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:26,690
Student #1: Collaborative Strategic Reading.
Mr. Shaw: Excellent.

00:00:26,690 --> 00:00:31,870
Voiceover: Teacher Tim Shaw shows how CSR
brings together four effective comprehension

00:00:31,870 --> 00:00:38,100
strategies: Previewing, Click and Clunk, Get
the Gist, and Wrap Up.

00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:41,350
Dr. Vaughn: One of the types of
comprehension strategies that's associated

00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:45,910
with improved outcomes for students are
those strategies that are called

00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:52,140
multi-component strategies. And what that
really means is that the strategy has more

00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:58,310
than one element to it. With respect to
Collaborative Strategic Reading, or CSR, it

00:00:58,310 --> 00:01:04,780
really means that there is a family of
strategies; some that occur before reading,

00:01:04,780 --> 00:01:09,670
some that occur during reading, and some
that occur after reading. Students who learn

00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:18,870
this family of strategies can take them to
text and use them in a very systematic way.

00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:22,760
Voiceover: Mr. Shaw teaches his fourth
graders how to work in cooperative groups.

00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,670
Mr. Shaw: Let's go over the different things
that we wanna to make a cooperative group

00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:32,920
successful. The first thing is we need to
share our thoughts. What is important about

00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,750
sharing thoughts in a collaborative group?
Sabrina?

00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:41,960
Sabrina: To speak respectfully and just
share your thoughts.

00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:46,480
Mr. Shaw: I really like the way Sabrina said
respectfully. 'Cause it's very important

00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,580
that everybody's ideas in the group are
respected.

00:01:50,580 --> 00:01:54,910
Voiceover: Within cooperative groups, each
student performs a designated role. Roles

00:01:54,910 --> 00:02:00,450
are an important aspect of CSR. Mr. Shaw
models and explains the roles so students

00:02:00,450 --> 00:02:02,120
understand their responsibilities

00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,920
during CSR.

00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,240
Mr. Shaw: Now, don't get upset if you don't
get a role you want, because every time we

00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,750
do this, we're gonna rotate those different
roles. So each of you will get a chance to

00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:17,590
be the Leader. Each of you will get a chance
to be the Gist Expert. Each of you will get

00:02:17,590 --> 00:02:21,940
a chance to be the Clunk Expert or the
Encourager or the Announcer.
