How to do Three-Minute Pause?

(three minutes for the entire process)

1. Summarize key points

Ask students to focus on the key points/main ideas

2. Add their thoughts

The students will consider their prior knowledge with the new ideas from what they have read to make new information

3. Clarify questions

Semantic Feature Analysis

Makes connections of students predictions and what is read Comprehension and vocabulary skills are improved

Steps:
Select a topic or concept from a reading selection. Introduce the Semantic Feature Analysis graphical chart Ask students to list key vocabulary words related to the topic down the left hand column of the chart. Next, assist students in listing the properties or features of the topic across the top row of the chart.

 Once the matrix is complete, review all the words and properties with the students While reading, students place check marks in the matrix. After reading and completing the matrix, have students share their observations.

Example:

Think-Pair-Share
A cooperative discussion strategy developed by Frank Lyman Students have time to think about it individually, and then they work in pairs to solve the problem and share their ideas with the class.

 Think: Teachers begin by asking a specific higherlevel question about the text or topic students will be discussing. Students "think" about what they know or have learned about the topic for a given amount of time (usually 13 minutes).

 Pair: Each student should be paired with another student. Students share their thinking with their partner, discuss ideas, and ask questions of their partner about their thoughts on the topic (25 minutes).

 Share: Expand the "share" into a whole-class discussion. Allow each group to choose who will present their thoughts, ideas, and questions they had to the rest of the class.

Pollution is contamination of land, air and water. Motor vehicles are in abundance in big cities as well as there are numerous factories and industries also. Motor vehicles emit carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. The factories contaminate air by smoke. Noise of factories results in sound pollution and waste of factories pollutes water and land. Delhi is third most polluted city in the world. Pollution here is three times the permissible limit. It may be nine times in eight years if some efforts are not made. Plastic is another big nuisance causing pollution. It never decays. If we burn it. It pollutes air. If we dump it into river or sea it pollutes water.

Examples of Questions:
Think of types of pollutions around you. Think of ways to reduce the pollutions.
