Today we re-visited the reading strategy where you activate your prior knowledge. This is where you think about all the things you already know about a topic. It can include what you have experienced personally and what you have read about, seen on TV or at the movies, etc.
This is a useful strategy because it gives you a base to build new knowledge and it helps you to make connections with the text.
