Formulate

Formulate. Reading comprehension is about interacting with a text. Research shows that the difference between “good” readers and “poor” readers is the degree to which they actively engage what is written. ( Dowhower , 1999; Duffy et al, 1987; Long & Long, 1987). Formulate.

  1. Formulate

  2. Reading comprehension is about interacting with a text. Research shows that the difference between “good” readers and “poor” readers is the degree to which they actively engage what is written. (Dowhower, 1999; Duffy et al, 1987; Long & Long, 1987). Formulate

  3. One way to interact with a text is to formulate questions as you read. Imagine you are having a conversation with the text. In other words, if a person were telling you the information you’re reading, what would you ask him/her about it? Formulate

  4. Read “The Case Against Soda.” As you read, formulate questions about the text you could ask your teacher. Write them down. When everyone has finished reading, your teacher will answer the questions you ask. (Keep in mind, the goal of this exercise is not to stump the teacher, it is to identify main ideas.) Formulate

  5. Here are some examples of questions you might formulate. Can you tell which question is a good one and which question is a poor one? Why is phosphoric acid harmful? What is the seventh word in the second paragraph? Try to formulate good questions. Formulate

  6. Soda. Pop. Soda pop. Whatever you call it, those sugary, fizzy drinks that the world has come to love are not very good for you. Why not? First, they can cause you to put on the pounds. A typical can of soda (sixteen ounces) contains 207 calories. Drinks are often forgotten as a calorie source. arid it’s easy to get 500 calories a day from a couple of cans of soda. That’s around one fourth of your daily caloric needs that you don’t even notice! And that doesn’t give you any nutrition. The Case against Soda (1 of 3)

  7. Then, they’re bad for your teeth. Sugar is known to cause tooth decay. So the more soda you drink, the more likely you’ll be spending a lot of quality time with your dentist. If that’s not enough, there are hidden dangers. Soda contains something called phosphoric acid— that’s what makes it fizzy. Too much phosphoric acid can cause an imbalance of the minerals calcium and phosphorus in your body. That imbalance is bad for the growth and strength of your bones. The Case against Soda (2 of 3)

  8. How are kids to make good decisions about what to drink when the soda companies pay their schools to put soda machines right in the hall? That practice may be coming to an end! Several states have passed laws limiting or eliminating vending machines in schools. Like everything related to food and drink, moderation is best. Having a soda now and then isn’t going to hurt you. But several cans of soda every day is not good for your health. The Case against Soda (3 of 3)
