Collaborative Strategies for Teaching Reading Comprehension: Maximizing Your Impact Chapter 3: Activating and Building Background Knowledge - Sample Category Matrix |
Figure 3.3 (page 26) provides a category matrix for Cinderella variants. Below are examples of story element components notemaking for a Cinderella variant category matrix. These notes are based on a response to Cinderella by Charles Perrault, illustrated by Susan Jeffers, and retold by Amy Ehrlich (Dial, 1985). Notice that various forms are notemaking are used. Providing students with paper of different colors for their notes helps them when they compare story elements of different variants. (Note: the story elements should be on one horizontal plane as in Figure 3.3 but are shown in columns due to space limitations on a Web page.)
