Learning Outcomes
- Preview text features
- Set a purpose for reading
- Ask and answer questions
- Stimulate interest and curiosity
Implementation
- Learners preview the content and turn the headings, subheadings, graphics, and topic sentences into questions.
- Learners then read the passage with a purpose, finding the answers to their questions. Encourage learners to summarize the content in their own words and cite page and/or paragraph numbers.
- Explain that it is okay to let some questions go unanswered after learners read the content. What is essential is that they have generated a focus for their reading. Learners may be motivated to search for answers utilizing other sources.
- After learners finish the content, they can write a summary or answer a reflective question given by the instructor to extend their learning.
