Anticipation guide

1 - Talk about what anticipation guides are [2-3 mins]

Does anyone know what anticipation guides are?

Possible teacher-student conversation: (5 minutes)

(Remember to allow wait time)
S: Is it the different questions we have to answer before we start reading?
S: Oh, I think there were sentences where we had to say we agree or disagree.
S: The one we did before?
S: Yeah, I think that was the one.
T: Yes, thats correct. Does anyone remember what we use anticipation guides for?
S: To uh anticipate?
T: Okay, whats an easier word for anticipate?
S: To expect?
S: Predict or guess?
T: Very good. So what are anticipation guides used for?
S: To help us guess whats going to happen?
T: Yes, in a way it is. Anticipation guides are used to help you prepare for what you will
encounter in your readings. The anticipation guides include statements that touch on the big
things in the novel.

2 - Read aloud and complete anticipation guide [5-7 mins]

Your handout is an anticipation guide (show them the handout).
I will read aloud the statements and I want you to write A for agree or D for disagree next

to each statement.
Teacher will read each statement allow and give about 30 seconds of wait time for students to
think and write down their answers.

3 - Whole class discussion - [7-10 mins]

Next, the teacher will go through each statement and ask for a class vote (show of hands) for
agree or disagree for each statement. Teacher will ask minority of students to share first (for
example, if only three people in the class disagree to a statement, the teacher will ask those
students to defend their opinion and then after that allow any disputes) and go on with the class
discussion.
4- Exit ticket:
Ask students to complete an exit ticket:
On a piece of paper, please write down a prediction/inference about the novel that we are about
to read based on the activity that we just did. For example I think that we are going to read a
story about a girl who has to take care of her own family because of the first anticipated guide
statement.
Differentiated Instruction to accommodate one or more of my students:
Students are provided with a visual copy of the anticipation guide and the statements will be read
aloud. The activity is broken down and has lots of scaffolding. Teacher will give examples of the
statements to students who need more help explaining the statements even though they are
already pretty straight forward and are easy to understand.
Materials Needed:
List all the materials you will need to conduct this lesson. Please indicate how many of each you
will need if it is more than one.
- Anticipation guide handout
Materials Appendix: (e.g., supplementary texts, Ppts, overheads, graphic organizers,
handouts, etc.)
