Anticipation Guide Reading To Learn In All Content Areas
What is an Anticipation Guide? • Pre-reading/Pre-learning strategy
Procedure (Teacher) • Analyze the material to be read. Determine the major ideas- implicit and explicit- with which you want students to interact. • Write those ideas in short, clear, declarative statements. These statements should in some way reflect the world in which the students live or about which they already know. Therefore, avoid abstractions whenever possible. • Put these statements in a format that will elicit anticipation, prediction, and interaction with the text.
Points About Creating Statements • When creating the Anticipation Guide, write statements that: • focus on the information in the text that you want your students to focus on or think about. • are chronological in order. • students can react to without having read the text. • information can be identified in the text that supports and/or opposes each statement. • challenge students’ beliefs about the subject, yet are plausible. • are general rather than specific. (eg. “What is the 4th word on the 6th paragraph on page 49?”)
Procedure (Student) • Answer the left column • Discuss the answers • Critically read the text • Answer the right column • Discuss the answers
Variations • Add a column for students to write down a page number and paragraph from the text to defend their answer.
Variations • Add space for students to defend answers
3 Levels of Statements 1- Right There On The Page 2- Reading Between The Lines 3- Reading Beyond The Lines
Challenges and Tips • Avoid simple recall statements
Challenges and Tips • Pre-Reading Strategy = Pre-Assessment
Challenges and Tips • Monitoring
Direct Application • Using your own teaching materials, brainstorm and jot down possible ideas on a lesson where you could use an anticipation guide in your content area. • Come up with specific concepts you would like your students to touch on, statements that will lead your students to those concepts, which (if any) variations you’d like to use, etc. • Be prepared to share your ideas with a neighbor.
