Activity 18
              • This activity is intended both as
               self-assessment and as a way to
               develop metacognition.
              • Try to make time for this activity,
               not only for the students to
               write their comments, but also
               to go through their answers. If
               the group is too big, you may
               want to change this format and
               develop it as a team activity.
              • Remember that you may reuse
               any format from other practices
               if you consider it suitable, as
               well as the formats included in
               this Teacher’s Book.
              Activity 19

              • We use focusing on unknown
               concepts as a means of making
               inferences, thus enhancing
               comprehension. There are
               a number of strategies that
               can be used instead, such
               as generating questions,
               summarizing, using graphic
               organizers or thinking aloud.
              • Remind your students that the
               fact a certain strategy may
               not have been useful for this
               practice does not mean is
               useless for every practice.
              • Try not to rush this activity nor
               the following one, so students can give their
               insights on how they cope with reading.
              Activity 20

              • This task is about metacognition. When one is faced with something new, showing how one deals with it is
               implicitly a way to self-assess and to make an impact on others, since learning is done collaboratively.
              • Remind your students to not only tell how they read, but to actively show it by reading their partners’ text.
              • If they can, allow them to record each other so they that have a record of how others act when reading.
