What: Active reading
How: Have the students be active readers by encouraging them to underling words they do not know, highlight what they think is important information, writing notes in the TL about things that interest them, confuse them, or that sparked a question. Depending on the lesson being taught, students could be looking for certain types of words, like stem changing verbs, or certain types of phrases or verb tenses. They could also check for different things such as the use of a direct object or cognates.
When: This would be taught to students at the beginning of the year. The strategy would be used during a reading assignment or an activity. This strategy could also be used on a test. Students could skim the test and make notes about what they know right off the bat or things that they will have to come back to that they may be unsure about
Why: Students need to become used to reading for a purpose, whether it be for pleasure or educational. They need to learn to pay attention to details and be able to understand the main idea and the big picture.
