Description
In this ReadWriteThink lesson, students examine opening sentences from texts they read completely in later sessions of a course or unit of study. Students make predictions about the texts; then, they return to their predictions throughout the course or unit to talk about the prediction strategy and to increase reading comprehension. The lesson plan includes sample opening lines for a variety of courses. The lesson can be easily adapted for any course or unit by collecting opening lines from texts that the class will read as a group. Less
