TMS3719 Assessment 4 2024Question 1
1.1.1. Skimming (5)
Skimming is like taking a quick glance at a text to get the general idea of what it’s about.
You don’t read everything in detail; instead, you focus on the headings, subheadings,
and maybe the first and last sentences of paragraphs. This helps you to pick up on the
main points without getting bogged down in all the details. For example, when you’re
flipping through a magazine or browsing a website, you might skim to see if there’s
anything interesting that you want to read more carefully later.
1.1.2. Scanning (5)
Scanning is a bit different from skimming. Here, you’re searching for specific information
within a text, like looking for a phone number in a directory or a date in an article. You
don’t need to read everything—just keep your eyes peeled for the particular word or
piece of information you need. For example, if you’re trying to find the time a movie
starts in a schedule, you’d scan through the listings to find exactly what you’re looking
for.
1.1.3. Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLSs) (15)
When it comes to helping students understand what they’re reading, especially in terms
of vocabulary, there are several strategies that can be really effective:
1. Context Clues: Encourage students to look at the words around an unfamiliar
word. Often, the sentence gives hints about what the word means. For instance,
if a student doesn’t know the word “gregarious,” they might figure out it means
“sociable” if the sentence says, “She was so gregarious that she made friends
wherever she went.”
, 2. Word Maps: Create visual diagrams where the new word is in the center, and
students connect it with synonyms, antonyms, examples, and definitions. This
helps them see the word from different angles and solidifies its meaning.
3. Flashcards: Have students make flashcards with the word on one side and the
definition or an example sentence on the other. This is great for repetitive
practice, which helps with memorization.
4. Morphology: Teach students to break down words into their roots, prefixes, and
suffixes. For example, understanding that “un-” means “not” can help them figure
out that “unhappy” means “not happy.”
5. Use in Sentences: Encourage students to use new vocabulary in their own
sentences. This not only helps them remember the words but also gives them a
sense of how to use them correctly in context.
These strategies help students build their vocabulary and, over time, enable them to
understand and engage with texts more effectively.
1.1.4. Prereading Activities (10)
Before students dive into a text, it’s helpful to prepare them with prereading activities.
These activities set the stage for better understanding and make the reading process
smoother:
1. Predicting: Ask students to look at the title, headings, and any pictures or
diagrams in the text. Then, have them predict what they think the text will be
about. This gets them thinking about the topic and sets a purpose for reading.
2. K-W-L Chart: Create a chart where students list what they already Know about
the topic, what they Want to know, and after reading, what they’ve Learned. This
keeps them engaged and curious throughout the reading process.
