Skimming:Idea #1:  Students read the headline and the first sentence of each paragraph of an article.  They then pair up to discuss the guessed-at topic of the article.Idea #2:  Students read the first paragraph and the last paragraph of the article.  They then work in pairs to discuss the guessed-at contents of the piece.Idea #3:  Students have two minutes to read the article.  Of course, they won't be able to complete the piece, especially if they try to read each word.  After two minutes, students get into pairs to discuss the contents of the piece.  Additional points may also be discussed, such as overall tone (humorous, serious, persuasive), whether the writer supports or opposes the main idea,Scanning:Idea #1:  Several content-specific questions are written on the board before students receive the article.  Students read through the text and answer the questions.Idea #2:  Key vocabulary words are written on the board before students receive the article.  Students read through the text and circle the words, then read the sentence for each word for context.Idea #3:  You read aloud the beginning of a sentence.  Students must go through the article, find the sentence, and read it aloud.With any of the above skimming and scanning ideas, make sure to let students return to the piece after their discussion.  Allot several minutes to skim and/or scan through the information once more to confirm the ideas exchanged with a partner.  Students should then pair up, correct any information previously exchanged, and add to the discussion.  When you then assign students to take a more detailed look at the article, they will be better prepared to do so.
