Lesson Plan Title : Practicing Skimming
Age Range: Grade 6 through Grade 8 (Middle School Level)
Overview and Purpose : Skimming can be very useful when you want to quickly find information in a large document. This technique will be one that students will want to master for use in future research assignments.
Objective: The student will be able to skim an article and pick out answers to questions asked by the teacher.
Resources:
One newspaper per pair of students
Activities:
Ahead of time pick out several facts from the newspaper. Pass the papers out to each pair of students. Tell them which section you are going to ask your question from and wait for them to get to that section. Ask a question about one of the articles. The first pair of students to find the information stands up. If they answer correctly, then they get a point. The first team to 5 points wins.
