Anticipation Guides
When to use:
- to promote interest
- to set framework for reading
- to encourage higher level thinking
How to use:
1. Teacher creates a lit of 3 to 10 statements that challenge students thinking on issues related to the story/ reading.
2. Students are asked to mark whether they agree or disagree (I like to make the statements very black and white to get the
students thinking and discussing).
3. Discuss statements and student responses after students have had a chance to respond on paper.
Optional: Instead of having students answer individually, you can go through the statements together as a class and discuss each one as you go.
