ANTICIPATION GUIDE

What is an anticipation guide?  It is a a list of statements (not questions) that are related to the reading selection.  The statements are not taken directly from the selection, but are inferential so that the students have to really read the selection and think about it.  The students then decide whether they agree with each statement or disagree with it.  One variation is that the students have to give proof from the selection to back up their opinions.  Some of the statements should be written so that students can agree or disagree depending on how they interpret the information in the reading selection.  This will encourage discussion.
