Description
GOAL: To use quotes as a model for students to learn that just reading the words is not always enough.
Many readers believe that when they have finished the last word in a passage, they’re done. A most difficult idea to convey to students is that good readers don’t stop there. After the words are read, there is a second and equally important job to do. We must ask ourselves, Did I understand what I read?
In this lesson you will receive:
-59 thought-provoking quotes that will be analyzed for meaning,then discussed.
-Two different worksheets to use with the quotes. One for students to work independently and one for students working in pairs or small groups.
Worksheets have pre/post discussion questions that will show any changes in comprehension after class discussion.
This 10 minute activity was one of my favorite ways to begin my reading class.
