What is it you should be focusing on when given any text? What should you do every time?
1) Is this fiction or non fiction?
2) Think about the title, does it give you any clues about the text?
3) Think about any graphics like pictures, bold print, highlighted words etc. Do they give you any clues to what the text is about.
4) Think! What do I suppose the author wants me to know from just the title and any graphics?
