KUTIPAN..
The process begins with the teacher asking the students to list everything they know about a topic before reading. These words, phrases and statements are written as a class list. This is called Anticipation phase. During reading students engage in Realization, or the recognition of the validity or non-validity of what they listed during Anticipation. During Contemplation, students return to the list to confirm, disconfirm, revise, and add to the information. (Robert J. Marzano, Prentice Hall: 1987)
Grellet mengatakan, salah satu faktor penting yang membantu kita dalam proses membaca adalah keinginan untuk memahami apa yang terdapat pada tulisan tersebut. Semakin jauh kita melihat dan mengantisipasi teks dalam pikiran kita tentang apa yang dimuat dalam sebuah teks, semakin mudah kita menangkap poinpoin penting dalam bacaan tersebut.
CONTOH
Before you read about Marijuana, answer the following question:
Do you know the other names for marijuana? What is it? What does it do? Who uses it?
Marijuana is also called pot, dope, weed, Mary Jane,. Chronic, reefer, ganja, kaya or doobie. Marijuana is a green or gray mixture of dried, shredded flowers and leaves of the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. It can be eaten in certain foods or smoked. It is an illegal drug. The effects vary from person depending on how strong the marijuana is, hows taken and whether other drugs or alcohol are involved. At first, pot can make people feel relaxed, in a good mood and even silly. Users will likely experience dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, some loss of coordination and poor sense of balance, and slower reaction times, along with intoxication. Blood vessels in the eye will expand causing the reed eye contact. Smoking marijuana may impair short-term memory while people are using the drug. This happens because all forms of marijuana contain THC (delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol), the main active chemical in marijuana, which alters the way the brain works. After a few minutes, paranoia or anxiousness may set in, then intense hunger. Finally, sleepiness. For some people, marijuana raises blood pressure slightly and can double the normal heart rate. This effect can be greater when other drugs are mixed with marijuana. Marijuana is the most widely used illegal drug in the united state. Fewer than one in four high school seniors say they are current users.

Dead Sea is the greatest sea in Middle East Dead Se is located between Jordan and Israel Rain always falls almost every year in the area Animal water and plants live in Dead Sea The extreme salinity allows people to float in the dead sea The extreme salinity, among others, is because there are not any rivers flow out of the sea.
DEAD SEA
Between Israel and Jordan Lies the dead sea. It is actually a salt lake that is about 50 miles (80 kilo meters) long and 10 miles (16 kilometers) wide. Its surface area is about 394 square miles (1,020 square kilometers). Its surface level is 1,292 feeet (394 meters) below that of the Mediterranean Sea, making it the lowest body of water in the world. The dead sea extend from north to south in a great depression between rocky cliffs. The depression is a rift valley, caused by the earths crust having slipped down between two parallel fractures. The valley is a part of the great Rift valley, which continiues northward through the Jordan River valley and the sea of Galilee and southward through the Gulf of aqaba and the red sea and across east africa. The Jordan river flows into the dead sea from the north. Because the dead sea is situated in a desert, the climate is very hot and rainfall seldom exceed 3 inches (7.6 centimetres) a year. Evaporation carries off about 55 percent of the seas waters annually. This evaporation often results in a thick mist, which hovers over the lake. No river flows out of the lake. As a result, the dead sea is about 25 percent salt, or about seven times as salty as the ocean. The extreme salinity allows bathers to float easily, but it prevents most animal and vegetable life, except bacteria and brine shrimp, from inhabiting the lake. The name dead sea can be traced back to at least 323 BC. The lake was also called by several different names sucah as the salt sea, the sea of the plain, and the east sea, in biblical times. The lake shores yield salt, potash, and bromides. Bitumen, or native asphalt, is also found. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were on the shores of the dead sea. The biblical manuscript known as the dead sea scrolls were found on the northwest shore, near the ruins known as Khirbat Qumran .

The Associated Press Rush Hour 2 caused serious traffic jams at movie theaters. The buddy-cop sequel starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker grossed $66.8 million in its first three days, the biggest comedy debut of all time and the third-best nonholiday opening on record, according to studio estimates released yesterday. The top non-holiday debut came just last weekend when Planet of the Apes grossed $68.5 million. Howver, Planet of the Apes followed the pattern of many other big studio movies this summer, opening to huge crowds but taking a nosedive in the second week. It fell to second place with $28.5 million, a steep 58% decline from the previous weekend. Planet of the Apes has grossed $124.7 million in 10 days. Disneys G rated modern fairy tale The Princess Diaries had a strong third place debut of $23.2 million. The movie starts Julie Andrews as a queen tutoring her reluctant granddaughter (Anne Hathaway) in the ways of royalti. Original Sin, a romantic thriller starring Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie that was trashed by critics, had a weak sisth-place debut of $6.4 million.

Apocalypse Now Redux, Francis Ford Coppolass new version of his Vietnam War epic, took in $96,000 playing in just two theaters in New York City and Los Angeles, plus a once-a-day screening at a large-screen Imax theater. The film, which adds 49 minutes of previously unreleased footage, expands to the top 20 markets over the next two weekends. The opening for Rush hour 2 was double the $33 million that Rush hour grossed in its debut weekend in September 1998. It brought back much of the behind-the camera talent from the original move, including director Brett Ratner. Theres that old expression, if its not broken, dont mess with it, and thats exactly what they did with this one, aid David Tuckerman, head of distribution for New Line, which released Rush Hour 2.
