= Theories, Models, and Processes of Reading = Please download the powerpoint template below this set of directions and use it to structure your class presentation. You may upload your completed presentation back to the wikispace here (insert it next to the appropriate topic below and rename the file with your assigned reading model) or you may type in a summary of the main points from your presentation.

1. Save your completed slide show on your hard drive with your theory/model name in the filename. 2. Log onto this page and click on the "Edit this page" tab (The Firefox browser works best) 3. Put your cursor where you want to insert the slide show (i.e., after the appropriate reference) 4. Click on the "tree" icon from the editing bar. 5. Click the "Browse" button next to the "Upload New File" textbox in the window that appears and locate the slide show on your hard drive. 6. Click the "Upload" button and wait - an image of your slide show file will appear toward the beginning of the image list. 7. Double click on the image of your slide show file to insert it where you placed your cursor. 8. Close the insert file window and press Save from the Editor toolbar. 9. Scroll down on the wiki page to make sure your file was inserted in the appropriate location on the page.
 * To Upload Your Slide Show:**


 * Slide Show Summary Points:** Please use the following slide descriptions to outline your notes and class presentation about your assigned model/theory of reading. Your presentation should be no more than 10 minutes (approx. 2 minutes per slide) and you should leave approx. 5 minutes for questions from your peers.

1. **Slide 1: Principles and Assumptions of YYY Models of Reading** 2. **Slide 2: Aligning** **YYY** **Models of Reading with Historical Era(s) of Reading Research** 3. **Slide 3: Conditions That Prompted** **YYY** **Models of Reading** 4. **Slide 4: Leading Researchers of** **YYY** **Research of Reading** 5. **Slide 5: How Did** **Models of** **YYY** **Reading Prompt New Areas of Research About Reading Processes and/or Instruction?** 6. **Slide 6 (or most likely on paper)**:
 * Identify your assigned model of reading and briefly outline the main principles and/or assumptions of this model
 * Complete the sentence from this model’s view: Reading is…
 * Name the era(s) in reading research & practice (according to Alexander & Fox, 2004) with which your assigned model aligns best.
 * Justify your decision with evidence from your reading (topics, methods, beliefs) linked to descriptors in Alexander & Fox (2004).
 * Briefly paraphrase/list the conditions that prompted these assumptions of reading and/or limitations of previous models/lenses/methods
 * List leading researchers that investigated reading from this perspective, include selected years of publication, and focus of research (EXAMPLE: Palincsar & Brown (1982; 1984): Reciprocal Teaching)
 * Briefly list/paraphrase specific types of research //questions//, specific //methodologies//, and specific //instructional recommendation//s shaped by your assigned model of reading
 * A simple visual representation of the reading model/theory encapsulated with a few words, arrows, and boxes to represent the key ideas
