Read the text below and answer the following question.
Heard the one about the cop who infiltrated the KKK? Read the true story behind the latest film from director Spike Lee.
In October 1978 Ron Stallworth saw a classified advert in one of the city's daily newspapers. The ad invited readers interested in receiving information from the Ku Klux Klan to write to a PO box located in a nearby town.
Stallworth, curiosity piqued, wrote a note to the PO box under his own name. In it he claimed to be a white man who was interested in learning more about the KKK's activities.
Two weeks later he received a phone call from the local organizer of the Klan's Colorado Springs chapter, asking him why he wished to join.
From these speculative beginnings sprang an audacious undercover investigation, conducted first over the phone but eventually involving face-to-face contact.
It led to one of Stallworth's white colleagues impersonating him with such success he was invited to become leader of the Klan's local chapter.
It also led to the exposure of white supremacists in the military, the thwarting of numerous planned cross burnings and Stallworth becoming a card-carrying member of one of America's most detested organizations.
Most detested, yes. Brightest, no. At no point during Stallworth's investigation did his fellow Knights of the Ku Klux Klan suspect the man they were talking to over the phone and the man who was attending their meetings were not the same person.
Stallworth eventually left Colorado to become an investigator in Utah, where he became a
recognized expert in the correlation between gangster rap music and street gang culture. He retired in
2005, after which he wrote the memoir that saw him receive death threats from outraged white
supremacists.

Read intently the fragment below.
“An integrated approach to teaching reading is a process that should involve collaboration with school communities and parents and should teach the following:
I - Phonemic awareness: the ability to hear and manipulate sounds in oral language.
II - Phonics: the relationships between letters and syntax.
III - Vocabulary: new words and what they mean. IV - Text comprehension: understanding what is being read and developing higher-order thinking skills; and fluency, which is the ability to read quickly and naturally recognize words automatically, and group words quickly.”

Observe the text below and answer the following question.
Approach, method and technique
Approach is the level at which assumptions and beliefs about language and language learning are specified. It describes the nature of the subject matter to be taught.
Method is the level at which theory is put into practice and at which choices are made about the particular skills to be taught, the content to be taught, and the order in which the content will be presented.
A technique is implementational - that which actually takes place in a classroom. It is a particular trick, stratagem, or contrivance used to accomplish an immediate objective. Techniques must be consistent with a method, and therefore in harmony with an approach as well.

Responda a questão baseando-se no texto.
The whole bogey of regional politics and the regional party has been smashed to smithereens as the coalition partners hold on desperately.
The context can be understood as:
Researchers in text comprehension have applied an information-processing analogy to understanding how people think, learn, and remember what they read.
I - When a person reads, two aspects of this “human information processing system” continuously interact.
II - When the reader focuses primarily on what he or she already knows, this is called a conceptdriven or “top-down” mode.
III - On the other hand, when the reader relies primarily on textual features and information to comprehend, this is called a data-driven or “bottom-up” mode.
IV - In other words, the reader is constantly noticing parts of the text and comparing that sample with what he or she did not know.
