2. Put head down on desk. Ask them questions they have to answer without looking up
a. What is the person next to you wearing?
b. How many windows are there in the room?
c. How many plants?
d. What is on the poster directly behind my desk?
e. Name a character sitting on my computer hard-drive.
-When reading you need to pay attention to detail
3. How do you know which details are important? Some are more important than others. Give example of TSN turning point in sports (goals, penalties, saves, body check, fight) Dance? Piece of music?
4. What lines were important in the Mighty? How do you know? (ie . “Doin’ nothing’s a drag kid” “Perhaps someone who was once great is always great”)

Get some volunteers to come up and touch some wrapped presents and try to guess what they are.
6. Play the Oktopodi clip with the sound off. What can they infer is the story line of the video? Even with no idea of the music or what they are saying?
7. Get students into groups of 4 and give them a puzzle. Must put together the puzzle (and then figure out where their missing piece is)
8.How about in the Hemingway story: “For Sale: Baby Shoes, never worn” (explain bet behind the story: Hemingway told he couldn’t write a 6 word short story that would evoke an emotional response)
9. Do reflection on the following question: How good are you at putting the pieces of the puzzle together? Or do you always rely on others to explain things to you? Examples?
10. Read for the Rest of class
