Strategy: Text Lookback
|Strategy: Text Lookback |
|Age Appropriate: 3rd through 12th grade |
|Procedures/Steps: Students boost recall of expository prose by looking back in the text for appropriate and important information. |
|1. Teacher presents short passages (100-200 words) from expository text on an overhead transparency and a list of 3 lookback |
|questions and 1 think question. |
|2. Provide students with copies of expository text passages and text-lookback/think questions. |
|3. Introduce the strategy by explaining to students that people cannot always remember everything they read. However, if a ‘fact’ |
|question is asked about the text that one cannot remember, it is important to look back in the text to find the answer. |
|4. Describe the difference between a ‘fact’ question and a think question by explaining that a think question will ask for an |
|opinion, belief or thought about the text or article and a ‘fact’ question will ask for a specific fact or something that can be |
|found directly from the text. |
|5. Read aloud through a sample expository passage and then read a series of 3 text lookback/think questions to the class. As the |
|teacher reads each question, highlight for students the word clues that will point to whether the question is a think or |
|text-lookback question. |
|6. Teach students to underline key words in question and then skim article for titles, headings or illustrations that might tell |
|the reader what to look for. |
