Anticipation Guides p. 79 using before, during, and after.
Before this semester, I had relatively no experience with anticipation guides. I can remember doing one once in high school, but that was only one time. However this year, in another class, my partner and I used one to teach a mini lesson about themes. I found it a very effective way of getting the students to really think about what was going on. I also liked how in the book it talked about using not as a test, but using it as an active reading strategy. Some of these guides are kind of a moral dilemma, but it allows the students to make their own opinion and therefore they are critically thinking about the book and question at hand. I would and will definitely use this in a classroom. Especially with a book or story, such as Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters, that requires you to have an opinion on what you would do if you were in their place.
