Chapter 3- Understanding what we read

The word "Schema" some how intimidated me however; now I understand. This chapter brought up many terms and teaching techniques. The students experiences in life are critical to how they are going to relate to what they read. I never before thought the reader had so much influence in the aspect of the comprehension part. But it does make sense on understanding the reader and what they bring into the experience. Having discussions after reading is great to give students the opportunity to speak and have a input on what the topic is and listen to others.
