  2. Description • AKA: Prediction Guide, Anticipation Prediction Guide, Anticipation/Reaction Guide • A teacher prepared worksheet that students use to respond to statements before reading and again after reading • Often structured as a series of statements with which the students can choose to agree or disagree  • Use with fiction as well as non-fiction • Use on an individual basis or small groups

  3. Why Use it? • Focuses on major ideas in the text • Activates prior knowledge • Stimulates curiosity about the text and motivates students to read • Requires students to justify or change answers based on reading • Reverse misconceptions

  4. How to Use it • Identify the major concepts you want students to learn from the reading • Prepare a list of statements about the topic • Statements can be based on facts or be centered on opinions

  5. Steps • Step 1. Distribute the A-R Guide to students, with directions to write their responses to each statement. • Step 2. Students then are directed to read, and, after reading, respond again to the A-R Guide statements.  • Step 3.  Begin discussion by asking whether anyone changed their responses to any of the A-R Guide statements after they had read the selection.

  6. Teaching Tips • Write statements that focus on the ideas in the text that you want your students to think about • Write statements for which information can be located in the text to either support or oppose each statements • Make sure students understand this activity is used to jog their memory and not serve as a true/false test

  7. Adapt or Differentiate It • Use the guide as a preparation for a preliminary discussion on one or more of the ideas as a way to introduce a text • Develop one or more of the statements as writing prompts • Have students write the page or paragraph number on which they found confirmation for or a difference from their pre reading belief • Allow students to create their own guides
