Guided
Look at second passage in the PSAT prep handout you were given yesterday. Let's examine the title and the BAR GRAPH. Answer questions18 and 19. Remember, the answers to these questions come from the GRAPH and from no where else in the passage.
Independent
Using the test taking skills practiced yesterday, do your best to answer the multiple choice questions for the non-fiction passage.
1. Remember to answer the questions you know first!
2. Use multiple choice strategies (cross two out...)
3. If a question refers you back to a line to determine the meaning of a word, go back to that line and insert each choice to see which one makes the most sense in the context of the passage. Do realize that you are looking for the CONNOTATION of the word??
Check for Understanding
Share answers and justify answers (why is that the right answer?)
