PORPE Info for WIKI Textbook page **(this will need to be copy/pasted yet into a Word doc and linked per instructions)** PORPE is a five-step learning strategy consisting of Predicting, Organizing, Rehearsing, Practicing, and Evaluating. Perhaps the greatest accolade of the approach is that learners are engaged in using high levels of thinking. Initially, they actively generate their own questions from the text at a level or of a nature that may parallel those expected in an essay exam- the “Predict” stage. The learners then proceed to “Organize” thoughts that might support answering the proposed questions and “Rehearse” their responses and arguments. Finally, the learners “Practice” their responses by solidifying them either in a written or presentation format and then conclude their efforts by “Evaluating” how well a thorough understanding has been demonstrated. The entire process is learner-driven and fueled by higher-level thinking skills. Simpson, M. L., Stahl, N. A., & Hayes, C. G. (1989).
