Before, While, After

Gathering Information #8

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a structured activity designed to be used in conjunction with reading a text. It prompts students to actively think about and note down questions they have before, during, and after their reading session. For each phase of reading, there is a designated space to write the questions and their corresponding answers. This layout encourages students to engage with the text at different stages of their reading process and to document their evolving understanding.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students active reading strategies by prompting them to question the material throughout their engagement with it. It helps them to develop critical thinking skills by formulating questions before they have all the information, and then seeking answers as they read. The after-reading section reinforces comprehension by having them reflect on their learning and any remaining questions they may have. This process of questioning and answering helps solidify the material and encourages a deeper interaction with the text.
