Teacher asks what it means to have the “gist” of a topic. Discuss this, with examples.
Activities:
1. The teacher explains that the class will be working short text prompts using a literacy strategy that will help them be more successful in comprehending exactly what the point is.
2. Read a prompt together.
3. Learners take turns telling the teacher words that they find most essential. The teacher may list the words on a chart on the overhead or board. After the list of 5 -10 words is established, the students make suggestions to revise the list until the class comes to some consensus.
4. Read another prompt together. Learners now are asked to line out information that is not essential.
5. Students are given problems to work on their own or in small groups.
