4. PROBABLE PASSAGE In this activity, the instructor pulls five or six quotes out of the text before reading. The teacher then groups students and without telling them, gives each group a different quote. The students discuss the quote, predict what the reading will be about, and then share out to the entire class. They begin to realize that each group has a different quote, yet somehow they all fit together in the same reading. This helps students read with anticipation, wondering how all of the pieces will fit together in the text. This strategy may also be adapted into a Jigsaw activity, where one member from each original group joins together in a new group to share his or her quote and explain what his or her group predicted about the reading.
