SELF AS INFORMANT - 3
Strategies:
Predicting, Confirming and Integrating

So far we've looked at how the cueing systems work and thought a bit about our predicting, confirming, integrating strategies.

In the following set of short pieces we'll take a closer look at predicting, confirming and integrating.

Author's can keep the cueing systems intact and still give readers a hard time. They can write using only familiar words, spelled conventionally, with common grammatical structures. And still there's something about the text that proves challenging.

Again, do each of the activities. Then freewrite about your thoughts, questions, connections, insights into reading and learning that the activities taken together raised for you. Post your freewrite on the listserv.
