Pre-Reading Strategies:
• Goal: Getting Students to be engaged with the text before reading it.
• Listening: Listen to your classmates’ headlines and identify what parts of it caused you to want to read their article.
• Reading: Read each other’s newspaper articles.• Writing: Write a News Headline and article that will cause
others to be compelled to read it. • Speaking: Students will share their headlines with the
class and discuss how their headlines related to the actual plot line when the reading is completed.
