Understanding What You Read

Hey what’s up

In today’s lesson, we’re going to focus on understanding what

you read. Understanding what you read is major in life.

Especially in the future, when you’ll be the one looking for a job.

Whether if you’re a police officer, office worker, or even a

celebrity, you have to be able to understand what you read

So, in today’s lesson, I’m going to read you a paragraph

And I want you, yes you, to answer questions following what I

read.

Now in this lesson there’s no right or wrong answer so don’t

worry. I only want you to interact amongst your peers to help

understand the story and also give your opinions to questions

asked.

Alright, so I want you to listen very closely because I won’t be

repeating it. By doing so it’s going to help you remember better.

Alright, so here goes the story.

Remember to take notes!

Many historians and scientist believe that the earliest people in

North American may have traveled here from the continent of

Asia many of thousand years ago. At that time, Earth was

experiencing the Ice Age. Much of the water that separates the

northern parts of Asia and North America would’ve been frozen at

the time. It may have formed an ice bridge that people were able

to walk across. Perhaps they were hunters following their food.

Perhaps they were adventurous and wanted to explore, we do not

know for sure. Their migration to North America however may

make them the ancestors of the people we call Native Americans.

Alright, so time for some questions.

The first question: The ice-bridge concept has never been proven,

but can be true. Do you think it is a reasonable explanation for

how Native Americans came to North America?

Now remember there is no right or wrong answer, I just want to

get your opinion and for you to talk amongst your peers.

Alright, so for the second question: What might be a benefit of

living life as a Native American?

And for the third question: What are some of the advantages and

disadvantages of living as an explorer during that time?

Alright, so by now I think you have a better understanding on

how to understand what you read. So, good luck!
