Reading Strategies
​


1. Define (a word you didn't know before-- why did the author choose this word?)


2. Visualize (use every sense, use empathy)

3. Connect (to self-to text- to world)

4. Predict (a future event based on reasonable evidence)

5. Question (and Answer, higher level thinking)

6. Determine Importance (This matters to me because...)


7. Inference (it says/ I say/ and so)

8. Synthesis (Theme statement with 3 pieces of supporting evidence)


9. Summarize (Restate the essential events in the beginning, middle, and end of the plot.)

Reading Strategy In-class Activities

Prediction 

1) Preview this movie
2) Write a detailed prediction on an event that you did not see happen but that is likely to happen in this movie.
3) Explain with specific reference to genre, convention, tone, title, and other cues what makes your prediction reasonable.


Question

1) Discuss the Q-Chart
2) Watch this informative clip
3) Watch it again (they talk really fast)
3) Write Level 3-4 open ended questions
3B) Test they are open ended by making point form answers to them.
4) Now, pose this to a small group and discuss

Inferencing with Info-graphics

Picture
Example:
Here is a record of some of this inferences (and a few other thoughts I have as I read an infographic)

Inference:
It says "gallons and inches"
I say those are American units of measurement 
And so, this is an American Study.

Inference:
It says "gallon"
I know a gallon is a size of a large plastic jug of milk
And so I have a better understanding of how much saliva is produced in a year

Define: new word
Apoptosis (must mean programmed cell death)

Inference/ Monitoring understanding:
It says "produe 91 gallons of saliva" and "expel about 135 gallons of urine"
I always thought there was a lot more urine than saliva
And so, my understanding of liquids in the body is changing.  No wonder we need to drink so much water. 

Inference:
It says "my body will shed 8 lbs of skin cells"
I know that dust is made of skin
and so, that makes me understand why there is so much dust in my house all the time!

Inference/Question:
It says "my body will shed 8 lbs of skin cells"  
I say, people will have a different about of skin depending on how tall they are, how large they are, and other factors must influence this like exposure to sun.  (Like, if a person burns their skin peels-- that must speed up skin loss.)
And so, I wonder if they made this data based on the average male in the USA?
