"Tutors Teach Seniors High Tech Tricks" by Jennifer Ludden
In preparation to read this news article, the students were paired up with one being a senior citizen and one being the tutor/caregiver. The students had to wear plastic gloves with their fingers taped , waded up paper in their shoes, cotton in their ears and eyeglasses that depicted different types of vision problems elderly people may encounter. Then the kids had to do various tasks such as buttoning up a shirt, typing on the computer and walking. We did a wrap up about what it felted like to be a senior citizen and what assistance they might need in life.
The kids then read the story and did a reciprocal reading assignment which included predicting, questioning, clarifying and summarizing. Take a peak at our learning activity.
