The criteria for the table should consist of the following components:

2. What area of comprehension does it target?
3. Techniques for teaching each strategy with a brief explanation of how to use/teach this strategy when working with English language learners.
4. Difficulties that can occur with each strategy.
5. Include at least one online resource related to each strategy.

*** Present your information in a table, with each of the above components listed. Statements may be bulleted but the information presented must be complete.
