Expository+Fact+Strip

= Expository Fact Strip = = =

**Rationale** I want my students to be able to pick out important information from non-fiction texts.

**Implementation Suggestions** Can be used at a variety of levels but usually with non-fiction texts. The number of sections filled in depends on the level and the purpose of the activity. For older students they may just do more writing.

Through discussion as well as the writing and drawing a variety of students will benefit from this strategy.
 * Diverse Learners **

1. Choose an expository text appropriate for your students. 2. Provide each student with a strip of construction paper. 3. Have student read the text or the teacher can read the text aloud. 4. Write and/or illustrate the topic of the text in the first square. 5. Identify important facts in the text and write or illustrate them in each section. (number of sections depends on the number of facts)
 * Procedure **

Picking out facts needs to be modeled together several times before the attempt doing it on their own.
 * Potential Issues**
