Anticipatory Set:

Checking for Understanding

I will ask Jeffwhat we will do after we stop reading every few pages. If he does not know I will let him look in his joumal and see if he can tell me from that.

Guided Practice:
We will take turns reading the pages in the book. About every five pages we will stop to make I wonder statements, and to make predictions. After we write we will compare what \ire wrote with each other. Then we keep reading for five more pages, then stop to do the same thing. At this time we will look back at our predictions and see what ones were correct. We will highlight all the ones that we got correct. We will continue doing this for the whole book.
