Due: None.
In class, we reviewed an EOG practice from last week. Then, I introduced students to "UNRAAVEL" ... my suggested method for working through an EOG reading.
UNRAAVEL stands for:
Underline the Title
Now Predict what will happen
Run through and number the paragraphs
Are you reading the questions?
Are the important words circled?
Venture through the reading
Eliminate the wrong answer choices
Let the Questions be Answered!
Finally, students worked through an EOG reading on their own using these steps.
HW: read and I HIGHLY SUGGEST you memorize the steps to UNRAAVEL :o)
