Signpost Reading Strategies and Videos

As you're reading, think about these strategies as you..
See your notes for more examples and further definition of each of these strategies.
(Probst & Beers, 2013)

 Click on the link to see use these strategies through the following links

Aha moments- This moment is where a character in your story has 'an awakening'.

Contrast and Contradictions- This moment is where you expect a certain action to occur, and something totally different happens. (Character development!!)

Words of the Wiser- This is a moment where your main character in the book is given a piece of wisdom from another (often older) character.

Again and again- This is moment/action/ statement made throughout a passage (or story) that is repetitive.

Tough question-This moment is a where your character has a tough decision to make.  This choice will almost always lead to major story-line developments.
