Teaching has to do with passion. Sometimes it makes us feel terrible but the next day everything turns out to be just perfect... Every now and then I wonder why, this duality... but the important thing is that I keep on trying since I believe in what I do. Your post has been of help, so thanks for your words!

What I don't get is why i love it so much, though. I have my own blog. It is: www.englishcanbefun.blogspot.com.

I think we all try to make them develop their critical thinking and go beyond the text but many times it happens to me that I get rid of ideas... Right now I'm trying to use all these levels of comprehension and little by little students are getting used to them.... and as you said they are a powerful tool!!Tricia Terzaghi Martirenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511212710844508509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483359014095199251.post-61792799731480113842010-06-15T12:55:27.307-03:002010-06-15T12:55:27.307-03:00Hi Tricia, the way you have structured the questio...Hi Tricia, the way you have structured the questions is really interesting. When I give my students a reading activity, I usually put some simple comprehension questions along with questions that require the student's ability to find the answers "outside" the passage, this means that they have to make speculations, figure out......that's really challenging! I think that all the sections you put can be done and are a useful tool for the student's wider evaluation.Stefanianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483359014095199251.post-14586359143355260672010-06-13T04:41:13.074-03:002010-06-13T04:41:13.074-03:00great idea !great idea !veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734021688648541805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483359014095199251.post-78726413181533691692010-03-21T20:48:05.983-03:002010-03-21T20:48:05.983-03:00Just amazing!!

But it's always good to rethink and theorise our practice once in a while. I would change the verb, though in level 6. It's "Do you think Alice has good friends?".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483359014095199251.post-38273931749607265112010-01-02T05:18:52.650-03:002010-01-02T05:18:52.650-03:00Hi Tricia

I have been teaching for about 7 years now and I have actually always used the described method for reading comprehension. The test stucks in the head much better and the students learn how to adapt it to their own situations and every day life of speaking English. Though I think your text and questions about it are really perfect. I couldn't have done it like that and you gave me some more ideas :).<br /><br />SaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483359014095199251.post-17247344453390815042009-10-21T19:50:42.777-03:002009-10-21T19:50:42.777-03:00Hi Katty!!
