Students will have to have paid attention both to write the statements and to answer them correctly. You might want to allow students to do this activity in groups the first time, in pairs the second time, and individually the third time. This gives them the opportunity to help each other and learn from one another the first two times and then apply what they have learned individually. This will motivate them to read and listen more carefully. Use a variety of reading techniques in the classroom.
Students get bored doing the same old thing every day.
Instead of reading the chapter individually and answering the questions at the end, change things up a bit each time you read in class. Word of the Day Write a word of the day on the board for students to read and memorize. Before reading the chapter, say the word aloud with the class. Have the class say the word aloud together. Instruct students to keep an eye out for this important word during reading.
