I have been teaching model lessons for the strategy of Anticipation Guides.  This strategy is perfect for engaging students in nonfiction text.  Anticipation guides help to focus students' attention on important details and to develop the important skill of recognizing when the text causes them to change their thinking.  Thank you to Mrs. Gwin, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Coons, Ms. Byrnes, and their third and fourth grade students!  The examples below use nonfiction passages from www.readworks.org.  Resources for anticipation guides and other nonfiction strategies will be linked from the nonfiction page currently under construction.
