Active Reading
Alignment
Alignment = from where are you seeing it?
Is it like watching a movie?
Are you standing to the side of the main character?
Are you seeing it from above?
Are you the main character?
Notice your alignment when you are reading -- both fictional and nonfiction texts.
This fits with making sure you are visualizing.
Talk with the text --
for a novel: "Arg! You can't kill off that character!" "Don't go through that door!"
and for something you read for a class: "I agree with this." "I don't agree." "Are you going to prove that?"
Visualize
Ms. Dorsey read aloud a passage from a novel, and one from a nonfiction text. Students concentrated on visualizing.
More Active Reading: Noticing Patterns
Seeing patterns
- puzzled? We practiced looking for patterns with Magic-Eye pictures.
- Can you see it?
- What patterns have you learned in English class -- Text Structures?
Name the Text Structure
1. The dodo bird used to roam in large flocks across America. Interestingly, the dodo wasn’t startled by gun shot. Because of this, frontiersmen would kill entire flocks in one sitting. Unable to sustain these attacks, the dodo was hunted to extinction.
2. Jack and Jill ran up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.
3. Linux and Windows are both operating systems. Computers use them to run programs. Linux is totally free and open source, so users can improve or otherwise modify the source code. Windows is proprietary, so it costs money to use and users are prohibited from altering the source code.
4. Eating cereal is easy. First, get out your materials. Next, pour your cereal in the bowl, add milk, and enjoy.
5. Here are the three worst things that you can do on a date. First, you could tell jokes that aren’t funny and laugh really hard to yourself. This will make you look bad. Worse though, you could offend your date. One bad “joke” may cause your date to lash out at you, hence ruining the engagement. But the worst thing that you can do is to appear slovenly. By not showering and properly grooming, you may repulse your date, and this is the worst thing that you can do.
6. Thousands of people die each year in car accidents involving drugs or alcohol. Lives could be saved if our town adopts a free public taxi service. By providing such a service, we could prevent intoxicated drivers from endangering themselves or others.
7. When you walk into my bedroom there is a window facing you. To the right of that is a dresser and television and on the other side of the window is my bed.
We didn't discuss the following yet.

Pacing yourself with a pencil -- or with your finger --
1. Place your pencil on the first line of print about one inch from the beginning of the material.
2. Move it across a line to about 1 inch before the right edge of the print.
3. Swing back to the next line 1.2 t0 1 inch from the left edge.
4. Again, move across the page to 1/2 to 1 inch before the end of the line.
