An anticipation guide is a pre reading strategy designed to activate students’ background or prior knowledge surrounding issues or concepts. The guide is a series of statements about a particular text that the students are gong to read. Students indicate whether they agree or disagree with the statements before reading and return to these statements and do the same after reading.
1. Review the text to identify major concepts or main ideas.
2. Choose concepts which support or challenge beliefs.
3. Create four to six simple statements.
4. The statements should be open-ended and allow for a variety of opinions or interpretations, rather than be true/false.
5. Decide on the order of the statements and a presentation mode (paper/overhead)
6. Present statements before students read the text. Students react to each statement by agreeing or disagreeing with it.
7. Poll students and then discuss each statement briefly. Encourage students to share opinions and give reasons. Discuss what the story may be about. Students read the text silently, in pairs, or the teacher may read the text aloud.
8. Students record the author’s opinions regarding the statements in the guide.
9. Students record the author’s opinions regarding the statements in the guide.
10. After reading students return to the statements to agree or disagree.
11. As an extension, students could cluster and write about one of the major concepts as presented in the statements.

INSTRUCTIINSTRUCTIONS:ONS:
1. The teacher show the students actual objects from a story, one at a time, and engages the students in a discussion around what the story may be about.
2. For each object the children predict on a piece of paper divided into 4 boxes as follows:
1. As each object is presented the children make connections between the clues building their understanding and predicting the plot
characters
where when
event
Divide a paper into sections with square or circle section in the middle.
Tell the students the topic
Each student records their associations or connections in their section of the placemat
Adapted from B. Bennett/ Carol Rolheiser
Topic:
Students share thinking with the group. They identify and agree on key issues/ attributes of the topic. This information is recorded in the center section.
Each group shares their thinking with the class
Adapted from B. Bennett/ Carol Rolheiser
The teacher records ideas on board or overhead
Together, the teacher and class set a purpose for reading/ listening
E.g. answering questions, revise initial thinking
Format Examples:
Adapted from B. Bennett/ Carol Rolheiser
Choose 4 words that represent important concepts or ideas in a text or lesson
Have students write the 4 words in each corner of a blank piece of paper

Students use their background knowledge to group words into 3 categories:
Adapted from V. Rothstein/ R. Zacker
1. Select a text whose title suggests specific concepts
2. Identify 12-15 words including- Those that reflect main idea- Words obviously not connected to topic- Ambiguous words- A combination of nouns, verbs, adjectives and 2 word phrases- Words familiar and words that may be challenging
3. Include illustrations if you think students will need additional clues
Adapted from V. Rothstein/ R. Zacker
Adapted from V. Rothstein/ R. Zacker
1. Discuss title of selection. Make predictions about the content. Share an illustration if needed to support the prediction process
2. Each student receives the words chosen and sorting sheetIN OUT MAYBE
Adapted from V. Rothstein/ R. Zacker
Example:CRIME SOLVING
SCIENTISTS
Sort these words into the columns below
arsenic bloodhound gastroenteritisSherlock Holmes lab coat milk DNA forensic homicideInternet hair exhumedgenetic finger printing technologies
IN OUT MAYBE
Adapted from V. Rothstein/ R. Zacker
1.Student stop 2 or 3 times while reading.
2.Students check their accuracy of the sorting and make changes based on the new information of the text
Adapted from V. Rothstein/ R. Zacker
1. Student make final changes to their sorting.
2. Have them share their changes and explain their decisions.
3. Students reflect on how this strategy helped them to better understand the text.
Example:
- What helped you most in figuring out the words and predictions?
- What did you learn about the word?
- How did thinking about the words before you read, help you understand it?

Double Entry Diaries
Students divide a piece of notebook paper in half lengthwise.
The officer opened the back of Liselotte’s framed picture of her parents stepping deliberately on Bridgette's clean white blouse, which had fallen to the floor. Josef’s prayer shawl was thrown aside. Sophie's doll was grabbed, it’s head twisted off.
Before I read this part, I already knew that something bad was going to happen because of how the officer was treating Marianne’s things, I think that people would feel horrible if their things were being treated like that today. I had an image in my mind of Sophie crying and everyone else in shock. I don’t think its right for people to do these things and I had a big shock when I read the afterward saying that the Nazi’s killed on and on-half million children under the age of fifteen.

Students use the Cornell method (adapted from Pauk, 1974) to tease out main ideas and details from readings by asking summary questions about the text. Students can use these notes for reviewing and studying.
CORNELL METHOD
STEPS
IN
IMPLEMENTATION
Guide students in a survey of the text to identify topics and subtopics.
Have students convert the topics and subtopics into questions that will give shape to main ideas and probe for details.
As students read, have them stop periodically to fill in the details and main ideas as they emerge. You may want to model this process.

On completion of the reading, allow students time to review and refine their notes.
For review, direct students to cover up their notes and try to answer the questions they created in step 2. Ask them to assess their understanding a set of
symbols such as: √ I know this
? I have a question about this
* I need to review this
Have students assess the note-making method and how effective it was during studying.
