reading strategies:
  • summarizing: determine what is important and what isn't

can be contrasted with

Slide 7 - Diapositive

Read and remember your pick!
You want to go to a GOOD movie, which of these sequels would you pick?
Lacking the campy fun of the franchise's most recent entries and failing to deliver many monster-movie thrills, The Mummy suggests a speedy unraveling for the Dark Universe.

B.Unoriginal and unfunny, Ice Age: Collision Course offers further proof that not even the healthiest box office receipts can keep a franchise from slouching toward creative extinction.

C.John Wick: Chapter 2 does what a sequel should -- which in this case means doubling down on the non-stop, thrillingly choreographed action that made its predecessor so much fun.

Slide 10 - Diapositive

A very short story by Ernest Hemingway
One hot evening in Padua they carried him up onto the roof and he could look out over the top of the town. There were chimney swifts in the sky. After a while it got dark and the searchlights came out. The others went down and took the bottles with them. He and Luz could hear them below on the balcony. Luz sat on the bed. She was cool and fresh in the hot night.

Luz stayed on night duty for three months. They were glad to let her. When they operated on him she prepared him for the operating table; and they had a joke about friend or enema. He went under the anaesthetic holding tight on to himself so he would not blab about anything during the silly, talky time. After he got on crutches he used to take the temperatures so Luz would not have to get up from the bed. There were only a few patients, and they all knew about it. They all liked Luz. As he walked back along the halls he thought of Luz in his bed.

What is the main topic of this paragraph? (please answer on next slide!)
We all know what an egg looks like, right? Well, we might know less than we think—bird eggs can be spheres, teardrops, oblong, and anything in between. An interdisciplinary group of scientists may have made progress in cracking the mystery behind how these different shapes emerged.
A new study in Science shows that differences in flight ability might actually start as early as the egg: birds that take to the skies have more elliptical, asymmetrical eggs, while land-bound birds (like ostriches) have more spherical eggs.

The snowboarder Chloe Kim is making her Olympic debut in Pyeongchang, and, despite being just 17 years old, it is long overdue. The halfpipe phenom mathematically qualified for the Sochi Games four years ago but wasn’t old enough to compete, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise, according to Kim.

“I’m actually kind of thankful that I wasn’t able to go, just knowing what I’m going through now, going into my first Olympics” she told the Guardian last month. “It’s pretty hectic, and I don’t know if my 13-year-old self would have been able to handle it.”

What does the word praxer mean in this paragraph? Ben loves to drink praxer. He likes how praxer is the colour of the clouds but his favorite kind of praxer is chocolate praxer. Chocolate praxer doesn't come from chocolate cows though. It comes from regular cows like all praxer does. Ben likes to drink praxer with a sandwich or put it on his cereal in the mornings for breakfast.

What does the word torix mean in this paragraph?
Your torix is made up of many bones. There are 206 bones in your torix. These
bones make your shape. Because you have a torix inside of you nothing can
change your shape. Without a torix your body would be shapeless.
