 3 Gist: Students locate information on a specific topic by using text features and search tools—key words, sidebars, hyperlinks—in an efficient manner.

They consider:

 What specific information do I need to determine (purpose)?

 What key words are important for me to know in order to locate that information?

 What are captions? How do they help me understand the pictures and words on this page?

 How can I use words in bold, headings, and other features in the text to find information quickly?

 How can I use the glossary to help me locate information?

 How can I use the indices to help me get information?

 How can I use electronic menus, hyperlinks, sidebars, and icons to get information?

 What other search tools can I use?

 4 Gist: Students break down the structure of a text to explain events, ideas, concepts, or information in a text; noting patterns such as chronology, cause/effect, or problem/solution.

They consider:

 How are the main sections of the text organized?

 What organizational pattern does the author use?

 How does this pattern help me understand the meaning of the text?

 How does this pattern help me explain events, ideas, or information in the text?

 How can I identify and use key words to help me explain the organization and structure of the text?

 Is the text organized chronologically?

 Do I notice cause/effect in the text?

 Is the text organized by problem/solution?

 5 Gist: Students break down the structure of a text to compare and contrast events, ideas, concepts, or information in two or more texts, noting patterns such as chronology, cause/effect, or problem/solution.

They consider:

 What is the main idea of the texts?

 Can I find the important events, ideas, or information in each text?

 Can I identify key words that help me find patterns such as chronology, cause/effect, or problem/solution in each text?

 How are the texts and the information similar?

 How are the texts and the information different? Can I contrast the structure and the information?

 How does the structure of these texts affect their meaning and style?
