  5. Anchor Activity = Anticipation Guide • An anticipation guide is a comprehension strategy that is used before an activity to activate prior knowledge and build curiosity about a new topic. • Before participating, guides ask you to consider statements about key concepts presented. • May be structured as a series of statements with which the students can choose to agree or disagree. • Anticipation guides stimulate interest in a topic and set a purpose • Why use anticipation guides? • They teach students to make predictions, anticipate the text, and verify their predictions. • They connect new information to prior knowledge and build curiosity about a new topic. • http://www.readingrockets.org/strategies/anticipation_guide/

  6. Gallery Walk! • Gallery Walk gets us out of our chairs and actively involves us in synthesizing important concepts. • Gallery Walks build consensus in writing and in public speaking. • In Gallery Walk teams rotate around the classroom, composing answers to questions as well as reflecting upon the answers given by other groups. • Questions are posted on charts or just pieces of paper located in different parts of the classroom. • Each chart or "station" has its own question that relates to an important class concept. • The technique closes with an oral presentation or "report out" in which each group synthesizes comments to a particular question. • Let’s take a “Gallery walk” of resources used for acceleration!
