Reading for a Purpose

READING CLOSELY FOR DETAILS: GUIDING QUESTIONS APPROACHING TEXTS Reading closely begins by considering my specific purposes for reading and important information about a text. I am aware of my purposes for reading: · Why am I reading this text? · In my reading, should I focus on: ⇒ The content and information about the topic? ⇒ The structure and language of the text? ⇒ The author’s view? I take note of information about the text: · Who is the author? · What is the title? · What type of text is it? · Who published the text? · When was the text published? Questioning Texts Reading closely involves: 1) initially questioning a text to focus my attention on its structure, ideas, language and perspective then 2) questioning further as I read to sharpen my focus on the specific details in the text I begin my reading with questions to help I pose new questions while reading that help me deepen my understanding: Structure: · How is the text organized? · How has the author structured the sentences and paragraphs? · How do the text’s structure and features influence my reading? Topic, Information and Ideas: · What information/ideas are presented at the beginning of the text? · What information/ideas are described in detail? · What stands out to me as I first examine this text? · What do I learn about the topic as I read? · How do the ideas relate to what I already know? · What is this text mainly about? · What information or ideas does the text present? Language: · What words or phrases stand out to me as I read? · What words and phrases are powerful or unique? · What do the author’s words cause me to see or feel? · What words do I need to dene to better understand the text? · What words or phrases are critical for my understanding of the text? · What words and phrases are repeated? Perspective: · Who is the intended audience of the text? · What is the author saying about the topic or theme? · What is the author’s relationship to the topic or themes? · How does the author’s language show his/her perspective? ANALYZING DETAILS Reading closely involves: 1) thinking deeply about the details I have found through my questioning to determine their meaning, importance, and the ways they help develop ideas across a text 2) analyzing and connecting details leads me to pose further text-specificquestions that cause me to re-read more deeply. I analyze the details I find through my questioning: Patterns across the text: · What does the repetition of words or phrases in the text suggest? · How do details, information, or ideas change across the text? Meaning of Language: · How do specific words or phrases impact the meaning of the text? Importance: · Which details are most important to the overall meaning of the text? · Which sections are most challenging and require closer reading? Relationships among details: · How are details in the text related in a way that develops themes or ideas? · What does the text leave uncertain or unstated? Why? ODEL EDUCATION

READING CLOSELY FOR DETAILS: GUIDING QUESTIONS Questioning Texts Reading closely involves: 1) initially questioning a text to focus my attention on its structure, ideas, language and perspective then 2) questioning further as I read to sharpen my focus on the specific details in the text Topic, Information and Ideas: · What information/ideas are presented at the beginning of the text? · What information/ideas are described in detail? · What stands out to me as I first examine this text? · What do I learn about the topic as I read? · How do the ideas relate to what I already know? · What is this text mainly about? · What information or ideas does the text present? How do Topic, Information and Ideas help me better understand the text? By looking for topic, information and ideas, I am better able to understand the author’s purpose and the information she has written. I can direct my reading to find the most important ideas and details. I can increase my reading speed because I am focused on particular information.

READING CLOSELY FOR DETAILS: GUIDING QUESTIONS As we read our text, take notes and answer the following questions: Topic, Information and Ideas: · What information/ideas are presented at the beginning of the text? · What information/ideas are described in detail? · What stands out to me as I first examine this text? · What do I learn about the topic as I read? · How do the ideas relate to what I already know? · What is this text mainly about? · What information or ideas does the text present?

With your partner, discuss and take notes on how the use Topic, Information and Idea helped you to understand the text. Reading Closely Unit: Topic, Information and Ideas Be prepared to discuss your notes with the class.

READING CLOSELY FOR DETAILS: GUIDING QUESTIONS Now that we have read the text, answer the below follow up questions: · Why might the author have placed the ideas presented at the beginning of the text at the beginning? · Why are some details and ideas emphasized over others? · How did deciding/understanding what the main idea of the text is influence how I read the rest of the text?
