✅ An Immersive Learning Experience: Instead of flipping back and forth between text and question pages, your learners will enjoy a more immersive, uninterrupted reading experience with the text and questions presented side-by-side – perfect for training students in more focused, sustained attention.
✅ A Complicated Topic Made Easy: This resource was built for students who want to know more about nanotechnology but may find the topic too complex. The layout and presentation of this resource scaffolds learning through a series of vocabulary, main idea, supporting details, and reading checks to build awareness of the topic slowly, all before getting to the critical thinking questions. Using this slow-release formula, students are less stressed when reading and more aware of their own thoughts and learning.
✅ Reading Tasks and Activities that Actually Work: The structure of this reading resource purposefully puts the students first and gets them to read, answer text-dependent questions, AND participate fully in their own learning by making the topic of nanotechnology more personal for them. With questions like ”’What makes a nanotechnology advancement groundbreaking?” and ”How does nanotechnology impact the future of medicine?”, students will be compelled to not only answer questions and have discussions with their peers; they’ll be inspired to go beyond each topic and learn more.
✅ Read and Link to Real-World Issues Facing Society: Students will not only be reading about automation and the future of work, they will also work towards linking the information they learn during the reading with society and the world. The lessons starts with a ‘Big Picture’ theme and question that orients students to the topic of automation. While reading, their confidence level of the topic grows, and they then can offer an answer to the question at the lesson.
Big Picture Theme & Question for this Reading Passage on AI:
- Cooperation – What are the similarities between monkeys and nanobots?
