1. 5 W's and 1 H (Who, What, Where, When, Why, How):
* Pre-Reading Application: This strategy encourages students to predict the text's content by asking the 5Ws and 1H questions.
* Example: Before reading a historical fiction novel about the American Revolution, students can brainstorm answers to questions like:
* Who: Who are the main characters? Who is involved in the conflict?
* What: What is the story about? What is the historical context?
* Where: Where does the story take place? What are the setting's characteristics?
* When: When does the story take place? What is the time period?
* Why: Why is this story important? Why are the characters making certain decisions?
* How: How will the characters achieve their goals? How will the story unfold?
2. 5-Finger Retelling:
* Pre-Reading Application: This strategy helps students recall information from a previously read text. It can also be used to prepare for upcoming reading material.
* Example: After reading a chapter in a science textbook, students can use the 5 fingers to retell the key concepts:
* Thumb: Title/Topic
* Pointer Finger: Important characters/people
* Middle Finger: Most important events
* Ring Finger: Problems or challenges
* Pinky Finger: Solution or ending
3. 5-Minute Read:
* Pre-Reading Application: This involves students quickly scanning the text for key information before deeper reading.
* Example: Students spend 5 minutes scanning a chapter in their textbook. They focus on headings, boldfaced words, diagrams, and the first sentence of each paragraph. This allows them to identify key concepts and organize their thinking.
Please clarify what "5" you're referring to, and I'll provide a more specific explanation.
