Instructional Ideas

- Create a key that uses different colors of highlighters or pens to note different elements within a text
Classroom Considerations
- The lesson requires printing a word bank and copies of text for learners
Pros

- Adaptable for use with a variety of texts
Cons
- Loses focus near the beginning of the lesson by including a word bank activity that does not connect to the rest of the activities
