Ques. 10At the beginning of the year, Mr. Doniphan taught his eighth graders a strategy for comprehending their history lessons when they read the chapters in their text. He has found over his three years of teaching that many of the students get bogged down in the details and fail to understand how one event relates to another. The class is working on chapter four and Mr. Doniphan is leading discussion about the assigned reading. He finds that most of the students are unable to participate. They are getting bogged down again and are not applying the strategy they learned earlier.
What does Mr. Doniphan need to do when he teaches the learning strategy in order for students to continue using it all year?
