Postreading

A number of types of activities follow each reading passage. These activities can be done individually and then checked in pairs. Some of these activities can be done for homework. However, at least some of them should be done in class. If time permits, have students do the more challenging activities in groups. As you go over the answers, make sure that students go back to the passage and explain why they answered as they did. They should do this for both right and wrong answers.

Students should use dictionaries only to check an occasional word in the vocabulary activities. There should be enough context in the reading passage itself and the activity to allow them to guess the meaning. Vocabulary activities are often best done in pairs because students can then compare their best guesses.
