  • In a whisper, her grandfather begins to draw them
    in. Adelina closes her eyes to imagine the calm
    and quiet on that first afternoon when his boat
    was gently nudged by a huge gray whale. As the
    boat rocked, her grandfather and his fishing
    partners hearts pounded. They held tight and
    waited, preparing themselves to be thrown into
    the water by the giant animal. The whale dove
    below them and surfaced again on the opposite
    side of their boat, scraping her head along the
    smooth sides. Instead of being tossed from the
    boat, they were surprised to find themselves
    still upright and floating.

Comprehension Draw Conclusions
  • Good readers use information from a selection as
    well as personal experience to draw conclusions.
  • Good readers can draw conclusions about a
    persons character and about events by looking
    for clues in the selection.

11
Comprehension Analyze Text Structure
  • An author must choose a structure that will best
    communicate what he or she wants to say to the
    reader. Good readers look for clues about what
    kind of structure the author has chosen. Knowing
    what the basic structure is may help students
    determine the authors purpose.

12
Comprehension Sequence
  • Sequence is the order in which events happen.
    Authors who use sequence to provide a structure
    for their texts have decided that readers will
    need to know when things happen in order to
    understand them. Authors who write about history
    or who write how-to texts will usually use
    sequence to organize the information in their
    writing.
  • Some signal words are first, next, then,
    finally, second, and after.
  • Time related words can also signal the sequence
    of a story.
