 * Strategy used for pre-reading to invite student response to generalized statements related to the text. It can also be used as post-reading to spark changes of opinion after reading the story or text.**
 * Why would we use it?**
 * It would be used to help students key in on story events, invite discussion and ultimately improve reading comprehension and response to text.**
 * How do we make it?**
 * (You may want to print the template and write the statements down making a copy for each student.)

2. Before reading, ask students to consider each generalization and use the template sheet to indicate agreement/disagreement with each statement.

3. As students read the passage, they may want to write evidence that supports their statement (depending on grade level).

4. After reading, students should evaluate their original thinking and decide if they want to change or keep their original response.
