Looking Closely at Texts


Consolidate Reading Skills is about gaining meaning from a variety of texts
even if you find them tricky. In this task, you are asked to read instructions for doing something that interests you. Visit www.eHow.com and search for a skill you want to learn. You may search for instructions on hitting a golf ball, catching a fish, changing a tyre or cooking a meal. The only rule is they must be written instructions, not just a video. Once you have found an example, follow these steps: a) Skim the instructions first this means, to glance over the text quickly to get an overall idea of what it is about. b) Now read the instructions slowly and carefully. If you dont understand something, ask your Mentor for help. c) Go back and scan the text in order to answer the following questions. What equipment will you need? e.g. gloves, hooks, paper, ice etc

What will you physically have to do? e.g. stir, fold, hit, step forward, scrub etc

Now find an online video on the same thing. If www.eHow.com doesnt have one, try Youtube.

Watch the video


List 3 things that are the same in both the video and the written instructions: 1. 2. 3.
