Give out KWL. Have students complete what they know about good readers
and what they want to know about good readers.
List what "good" readers do on the board.
Categorize into the five parts: Predicting, Clarifying, Quesitoning,
Visualizing, and Summarizing.
Pass out bookmarks.
Explain and define each of the five parts. Explain that they may come
in any order, but we will do them in order for this lesson.
Pass out highlighters. Students will use them to highlight parts that
need clarification.
Write the phrase "homeless" on the board or have the students
write down at least five thoughts that come to mind when they hear that
word. What does this word mean? From this title, what do you think the
author will discuss in this essay? Write predictions on overhead.
