3P Notes Prior Knowledge, Making Predictions, & Author’s Purpose

PP redictions – educated guesses based on personal experience and text details VV erify – confirm your prediction with the actual outcome RR evise – adjust your predictions as you go Copy These Definitions:

The water temperature on the big swim would be a degree colder. Thirty-two degrees. That was a magic number, the temperature at which freshwater froze. I wondered if in thirty-two-degree water the water in my cells would freeze, if my body’s tissues would become permanently damaged. You can make a prediction about the rest of the selection by asking yourself a question such as this: Will the one-degree difference make the swim impossible? Example (Don’t Copy):

Dr. Block caught me at the top of the stairs, just before we stepped out the door and onto the ramp, and asked if I would sit down on a step so he could trace two veins on my hands with a blue Magic Marker. It was just a precaution, he said, in case I needed emergency assistance.... Why did he have to do this now, right before I swam? Didn’t he realize this kind of stuff psyches people out?  Predict: Will the author be psyched out by the doctor’s action?  What details from the text support my prediction?  What experiences have I had to support my prediction? Example (Don’t Copy):

An icy wave slapped my face: I choked and felt a wave of panic rise within me. My throat tightened. I tried to clear my throat and breathe. My breath didn’t come out. I couldn’t get enough air in to clear my throat. I glanced at the crew. They couldn’t tell I was in trouble. If I stopped, Dan would jump in and pull me out.  Predict: Will the author stop swimming?  What details from the text support my prediction?  What experiences have I had to support my prediction?

In the following passage from Swimming to Antarctica, Lynne Cox states facts about her test swim in cold water and expresses her reactions to it: I had mixed feelings about the test swim. In some ways, it had given me confidence; I now knew that I could swim for twenty-two minutes in thirty- three-degree water. But it had also made me feel uncertain. Example (Don’t Copy):

When I hit the water, I went all the way under. I hadn’t intended to do that; I hadn’t wanted to immerse my head, which could over-stimulate my vagus nerve and cause my heart to stop beating. Dog-paddling as quickly as I could, I popped up in the water, gasping for air. I couldn’t catch my breath. I was swimming with my head up, hyperventilating. I kept spinning my arms, trying to get warm, but I couldn’t get enough air. I felt like I had a corset tightening around my chest. I told myself to relax, take a deep breath, but I couldn’t slow my breath.  What are the facts? What were her reactions? Example (Don’t Copy):

I put my head down, and something suddenly clicked. Maybe it was because I knew shore was within reach, or maybe because I got a second wind; I don’t know. But I was finally swimming strongly, stretching out and moving fluidly. My arms and legs were as cold as the sea, but I felt the heat within my head and contained in my torso and thrilled to it, knowing my body had carried me to places no one else had been in only a bathing suit.  What are the facts?
