Progress Check #1
ACTIVE READING STRATEGIES (50 Points)
PART A: List the five active reading strategies. In your own words, explain each strategy in one or two sentences. (5 pts. each for a total of 25 pts).
1. Predicting: Predicting to me will be guessing what will happen next, whether it be watching a episode of my favorite show, reading a story, or just listening to someone talk.
2. Visualizing: Visualizing to me will be putting myself in the passage or book I’m reading to help me get a clearer understanding of what I am reading about.
3. Making Connections: Listening to others talk about a particular book that I want to read will help me to make a connection. I will already have some thoughts in my head on what the book will be about.
4. Questioning: Questioning to me will be to learn how to ask myself questions, like do I really understand what the author is saying in this book? Rereading the passage or story because I don’t understand and I need clarity.
5. Summarizing: Summarizing to me will be do I understand what I just read. Can I break this passage or story down in a smaller version.
PART B: Identify the strategies being modeled in the following passage. (10 pts.)
Computer Viruses
A computer virus is programmed to raid and attack existing computer programs. The virus is sent by an e-mail or activated through a download. The virus program then infects the whole computer system. The virus attaches itself to other programs in the computer and copies itself. Some computer viruses are terrible; they erase files or lock up systems. Viruses must not go untreated.
[From Henry, The Skilled Reader, 2004, p. 8]
1. I think it will be about computer viruses.
Predicting
2. How is a virus activated through a download?
Questioning
3. I once had a virus in my computer and it erased all of my files.
Making Connections
4. This reminds me of
