Instructional Ideas
- Have pupils work in pairs to partner read the text out loud, switching off each paragraph, and work out responses to the questions
- Require students to mark the text in order to help them more fully understand the text
Classroom Considerations
- There isn't too much space provided for writing responses to the questions, so you may wish to create a class set and have learners write responses on another sheet of paper
