Class Experience

This is the 2nd class in the 'Making Connections' series of reading comprehension lessons. I recommend students to take the 'Making Connections 1' class first, but it is not essential. A different text will be studied in each class. Students can record their responses if they wish, but the emphasis is on discussion rather than writing. 

Reading a text extract, we'll start by investigating any unknown vocabulary. 

Through discussion, we'll make connections between the text and what we already know, in order to gain a greater understanding of the content. We'll ask ourselves questions such as  "Have we ever been to a place like the one in the story?", "How is this text similar to any other which we've heard or read?" and "Does the text remind us of anything that's happening in the world today?" 

We'll complete sentences beginning with "I wonder what...", "I wonder how...", "I wonder why...", "I wonder if...", followed by a discussion of each other's ideas. 

We'll make predictions based on what we've read and discussed.

We'll summarize the text.

Students will be shown how these strategies can be applied to their future reading.

Learning Goals

Students will gain a deeper understanding of the text by relating it to their own experiences and existing knowledge.
Students will gain a deeper understanding of the text through discussion of their ideas.
Students will learn to make sensible predictions based on what they've read and discussed.
Students will learn how to summarize a text.
