Technical Reading is more difficult than general reading because of
specialized vocabulary, the way information is organized, and the
diagrams and charts included with the reading.
At your table groups, outline the steps for problem solving that you have taught your students

A key to student success in approaching problem solving situations is the ability to read for understanding, make vivid visual associations, and make connections to prior knowledge.

Reading and reflecting improves both reading and listening
comprehension. This process provides sufficient sensory
stimulation to enhance semantic memories that live in the world of
words and are activated by associations, similarities, or
contrasts.

•Some Potential Problem categories have been identified.
•A number has been placed at your table that identifies the potential problem you will address.
•As a group, brainstorm 5 or more examples for the problem you have been assigned.
Teach students to internalize what they're learning. Have them create a mental image of important vocabulary on a word map or diagram
