Using Post-its
1. To improve top-down skills, teachers can ask their students use post-it notes to mark a text as they are reading. 2. The notations on the post-its include: asking a question, answering a question, creating a mental picture, expressing opinion, connecting to life, and connections to reading. 3. These "notes" could include key information, a new vocabulary item, interesting descriptions, or whatever focus seems appropriate. 4. Although students read on their own, they review their reading process by using post-its, also making their reading a more active process.
Step 2: They predict what the text is going to be about. Step 3: The students express their opinion or reaction to the text.
