Anticipation Guide:
What is it?
This is a great pre-reading strategy for teachers to use when trying activate students' background knowledge on a topic or as a technique for assessing what students think or feel about a topic.
What does it look like?
It is most often a series of statements to which students can agree or disagree. These statements represent the "big ideas" or essential questions of a unit or text. Teachers might also ask students to mark their level of agreement or disagreement on a continuum.
Freedom is more important than safety. (Agree or Disagree)
Our current government has a sufficient amount of power over the people of our nation. (Agree or Disagree)
The world is changing and we need to change with it in order to keep up. (Agree or Disagree)
Three Word Summary:
What is it?
The Three Word Summary is a during-reading strategy that helps students to be aware of the meaning of the text and to keep track of the information in the passage. If a text is technical, at a difficult reading level, or just plain boring, it can be difficult for students to hold on to the meaning of one paragraph as he/she tries to read the next. By chunking the text and jotting down a three word summary, students are better able to retain the information as they continue to reading the passage.
What does it look like?
1. Identify the main subject of the paragraph.
2. Jot a 3-word phrase in the margin of the text next to the paragraph. (Summaries are often noun-verb-object/adjective)
Example: text summarized briefly
3. Use the summaries to track the logic/organization or to find answers in the text.
Quiz-Quiz-Trade
What is it?
This can be a pre-reading or post-reading strategy. The benefits of this strategy are that every student is actively involved in speaking and listening and it is an opportunity for students to be out of their desks interacting with classmates.
What does it look like?
All students are given a card or slip of paper with a question (or vocabulary word or quote from a text) on one side and the answer (or definition or nothing) on the other side. All students stand up and pair up. One student reads the question to the other student. The other student answers while his/her partner writes the answer or response on the back of the card OR confirms the answer is correct. The students switch roles. When both questions have been given, the students trade questions. They look around for a new partner and repeat the process.
