Notes+for+Quiz+3

Here are the topics/ideas you should focus on for Quiz #3.

 * Inferences
 * Types of knowledge (declarative, procedural, conditional)
 * The role of referents and dialogue in inferring
 * The role of background knowledge (prior knowledge) and the kinds of background knowledge we have
 * The teaching cycle (both the mnemonic way it's presented in your book--I do, I do, etc.--and what those actually mean)
 * metacognition
 * Comprehension strategies--what are some? Why are they important?
 * "Close reading": What is it? Why is it important?
 * The Common Core Standards (NOTE: You do not need to know the CCSS themselves. In other words, you will not be asked something like, "what is Standard 1 for reading literary texts?" But you should know what they are, what they do, and, if asked, be able to use them)
 * Text-dependent vs. text-independent questions.

This information comes from Chapters 5 and 7, and the following class notes:
