Unit 4:

Phase 1 - Pre-Reading


1) Design at least one exercise to be done before the reading unit starts -- an exercise that would move students' abilities toward what they need before confronting the text.

-identify what Standard(s) are met by that exercise, and how, in terms of the curricular goals you set in the final exercise for Unit 3.


2) Design the prereading exercise that will be the in-class introduction to the chosen reading tasks; explain how that exercise moves the students toward filling the Standard(s) of the curricular unit under design.


3) Follow-up: assume that the students will be returning to this text at their next level of study. Design a set of prereading exercises for the next learning level, and describe how they fill the same Standard(s) as the other level, or a different set more appropriate for that succeeding level.
