(Supplementary Materials for Specific Textbooks--Q: Skills for Success: Reading and Writing 4)
 |
Directions: Tell students to close their books. Put them in pairs. Give each pair a copy of pages 1-2. Instruct them that there is one sentence missing from each paragraph. They have to read the paragraph and use the cohesion clues to tell where sentences are probably missing. They mark the spot in the paragraph where they think the sentence is missing.
Then, give each pair a copy of sheet 3. Instruct them that the full text is posted outside the room (p.4-5). They have to go outside of the room, look at the full paragraphs, and find the missing sentence, and then write it down on their answer sheet. Standard running dictation rules apply (i.e. one student can run outside to look at the text, but they can't write anything. They have to memorize the sentence, and run back and dictate it to their partner). The first pair to write down all 9 missing sentences is the winner.
