2 History Reading Strategies - Which Way is Better?

The author's purpose in this article, I don't believe, is strategic reading, but choosing from an array of possibilities, the one most suited to long term understanding.  When you read this article, analyze the differences between the two history teachers' lessons.  Both are using reading strategies, and one is widely used by content area teachers applying strategic reading to their lessons. LEX uses this often.  The contrasting lesson with the other teacher is entirely different.  Why?  Does does the subject content make a difference?  After I read this article, I realized how important it is for Title I teachers to maintain contact with the classroom teacher to be apprised of what he/she is already doing.  The question is, "How can Title I support the lesson?", the same way or offer a different approach.  Share your thoughts.
