Student Literature Strategies 

4. Repetition and Innovation

- Involves using a piece of text in several different ways to reinforce understanding and the gradual integration of the text's vocabulary and concepts into the speaking and writing vocabulary of the students. 

-Text is explored in many ways, with the students finally rewriting the text to create innovation on the original text. 

• The teacher must choose a book that will sustain interest over time, the students should enjoy reading the book many times and analyzing it in great detail.
• The teacher must allow the class to explore the structure of the story.
• The teacher must then play with words and have the students substitute words they don't understand. 
• The teacher must then allow the students to create an alternate text/version of that section of the story.
• Then the teacher shall encourage innovation on the text, such as circular story charts and etc. 
• Lastly the teacher must assess the students work and document vocabulary and comprehension.
