Welcome!
On behalf of Splash! Publications, we would like to welcome you to The Statue
of Liberty Model, a great way for students to practice hands-on Functional Text
Comprehension. This how-to-make was designed by teachers with you and your
students in mind.
The Rationale
Teaching students to comprehend Functional Text~the kind of text that requires
them to follow simple recipes, put their toys together before they can play with
them, or learn to operate the types of appliances found in almost every kitchen,
can be difficult, to say the least!
Putting together 3D Models is a great way for students to practice Functional Text
Comprehension. Cutting out patterns gives students practice using fine motor
skills. In addition, each step in the process gives teachers the opportunity to
check for understanding and help students monitor and adjust before continuing
on. Finally, it’s FUN and rewarding to make a 3D model!
