Reading Marathon Follow-up Activity

As part of our Reading Marathon, students practiced using their reading strategies.  The follow-up activity is due on Monday.  Here is a reminder of the tasks required for each strategy/block:

Character Analysis
- draw a picture of the main character from your book
- identify 4 character traits that describes him/her
- support each character trait with evidence from the book

Prediction
- make predictions (at least 2) about what will happen next in the book
Visualization
- good readers create mental pictures/videos of what they read
- choose a scene from the book and draw your mental picture
Questions
- ask 3 “juicy” questions from the book
- remember “juicy” questions are ones that require more thinking and inferring (e.g., not ones where the answers that are “right there” in the book)
Connection
- make 2 different connections (TTS, TTT, TTW)
- remember to explain your connection using evidence from the text
Summary
- once you have finished your book, write a summary of the book
- remember to include the main idea and important details
