ERA 4 - Expansion & Reform - Anticipatory Guide
The Anticipatory Guide activity emphasizes literacy while learning about course content.
It asks students to use a proven technique to improve literacy, a prediction.
It also builds fluency and vocabulary. I have also prepared a video demonstrating how to do this activity. The article might be different in the tutorial, but it will show you how the activity is done.

To start, respond to the questions/prompts.
I will read each question/prompt twice and you only need to respond by circling “Agree” or “Disagree” on the answer template. Remember, if you do not know, make a good educated guess and place your answer next to 1st Response.

To finish the activity, I will re-examine the same questions/prompts so you can see them again.
This time you will have the article.
Now you will need to find something in the article that proves your answer to be right or wrong.
Once you have found some evidence, check your 1st response.
If you catch an error before I do, it does not count against you.
Respond “Agree” or “Disagree” next to 2nd Response and then circle either JAC
(if there was a change) or SFO (support first opinion) if you were correct the first time.
To end the process, write one sentence that uses something you read that proves your
answer is correct. Example: In paragraph one, I read that the antebellum years
describes a period in history prior to the Civil War.
Respond to each question/prompt to complete the assignment.
