Identify And Use Text Features To Locate Information

The features of three pieces of informational text are isolated on five different text cards. Each highlights a specific text feature (table of contents, graphics with captions, bold print, headings, charts, maps, glossary, and index). Students place the cards in the sequence in which they would find them in a book. They are then tasked to identify text features, locate specific information, and generalize information.

Boost Critical Thinking And Inference Skills

Students have fun while they practice reading between the lines to understand the subtleties of text. They make their way along a carnival path by making different kinds of inferences. Taking turns, students read short passages and then answer multiple-choice questions that require them to make inferences related to character traits, character feelings, setting, and causes of actions. Wild Guess Cards with short, open-ended passages ask students to make wild guesses instead of logical inferences. By making both logical inferences and wild guesses, students understand how context and background knowledge support inference-making skills. Self-checking.
