ACTIVATE:
This pre-reading strategy asks students to identify the various features in a text to reflect on how these text features will help aid them in the reading of the text. When students are first learning to read texts of a particular form (e.g., expository, narrative), they also need to become familiar with how these types of texts are usually structured. This instructional practice and the one that follows it constitute two activites that this book offers to aid students in identifying and analyzing text structure.
PREPARATION:
Determine the text that will be read.
Become familiar with Student Resource: Common Text Features by Form.
Complete Student Resource: Analyzing Text Structure prior to assigning it to your students so that your copy can serve as a guide.
STEPS:
ANSWER GUIDING QUESTIONS ON HANDOUTS: Using the text chosen as well as Student Resource: Common Text Features by Form, students will answer the guiding questions in the left column of Student Resource: Analyzing Text Structure to determine the features of the text they are about to read.
