1. 21 SEPT 2015 BELL ACTIVITY: LISTENING TO FLOCABULARY’S INTRO TO THE ELEMENTS OF LITERATURE Today’s Agenda: Reading for information INTRODUCTION to LITERARY ELEMENTS FOCUS ON LITERARY CONFLICT

2. TRANSITION YOU WILL NEED: HIGHLIGHTERS A PEN INSTRUCTION HANDOUT PRINTING PRESS ARTICLE

3. READING FOR INFORMATION Much of the reading you do is reading to find answers and information. Reading for information is therefore a EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SKILL

4. READING FOR INFORMATION BEFORE READING AN ARTICLE: IDENTIFY THE QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ANSWER. IF THEY ARE PRINTED AS A PART OF THE ARTICLE HIGHLIGHT THEM. IF THE QUESTIONS ARE ASSIGNED, BUT ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE ARTICLE, WRITE THEM IN THE MARGINS. IDENTIFY AND HIGHLIGHT THE TITLE AND SECTIONS HEADINGS

5. READING FOR INFORMATION AS YOU READ

6. READING FOR INFORMATION What question(s) does the article says you must answer? What question(s) did the teacher tell you to answer using the article? What came before the printing press? Why did Gutenberg develop a printing press? What was his job that made him the perfect guy to make metal typeset. How did the press work and why was it better than previous attempts by the Chinese?

7. READING FOR INFORMATION Final point: Although it is convenient to know what questions you are trying to answer, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is to just look for the answers and not bother to read the rest of the document.
