Great Resources from NHPTV

KNOW IT ALL
November 7 from 5:15-5:30 a.m. and November 8 from 3:30-5:30 a.m.KNOW IT ALL helps students develop research skills by providing real-life issues and problems that students might encounter in their daily lives. In the series teachers, media specialists, administrators and others collaborate to help students use a basic four-step process to deal with these issues and problems by asking the questions: What Do I Want to Know?; Where Can I Find It?; How Can I Use It?; and How Did I Do? Each lesson focuses on only one step in the process, using various information processing skills in conjunction with different curriculum areas.

INTO THE BOOK
November 5 from 5:00-5:30 a.m. and November 7 from 3:30-5:15 a.m. Join a group of ordinary students using powerful learning strategies to enter the world of the story. Each episode shows students how they can use these strategies when reading fiction, nonfiction, or everyday text. Each episode focuses on a specific reading strategy and shows several different ways that learners use the strategy to increase their enjoyment and understanding of the text. Viewers even get into a student’s imagination for a clever insight into the strategy at work. A complete curriculum resource including interactive online components, teacher’s guide, and printable graphics are also available at the INTO THE BOOK website.
