At the beginning of the year, I showed my students the C.U.S.S. strategy as a way to help them understand and keep up with what they were reading. Since the students will be tested on the computer and not paper/pencil, I created another strategy to help them on the test. They are allowed to use scratch paper on the EOI English II test.
Define any rhetorical devices or academic words to clarify meanings.
Observe the structure of the text-fiction, nonfiction, or poetry.
Go over the questions and write down what they are asking you to do.
Summarize the main ideas for the paragraphs or the sections.
The students will make four sections on the paper and label them.
This strategy does not have to be followed in order.
