Anticipation guides are designed to be done before reading an article, and is peek the interest of students.  It's goal is to help get them to questioning before they read, as well as give them a purpose for reading.

There are several ways to construct an anticipation guide for middle and high school students. Most include the following steps (Duffelmeyer, 1994):

1. Identify the major ideas presented in the reading.

2. Consider what beliefs your students are likely to have about the topic.

3. Write general statements that challenge your students' beliefs.

4. Require students to respond to the statements with either a positive or negative response.
