Reading Skill: Skimming
• What is the definition of skimming?
• Skimming is reading for the general idea or
the big picture.
• What is another basic goal of skimming?
- saving reading time
- This is a skill you are using in everyday life
without even realizing it! Your brain has been
trained to skim what you are reading.
Reading Skill: Skimming
• When we skim articles or books, we need to
be purposeful in our skimming, doing the
things that will help us get the general idea or
the big picture.
• Let’s practice with an article about
McDonald’s. First, we’ll watch a short video
about the spread of McDonald’s.
Skimming Practice
• Let’s use an article about McDonald’s.
• Please do not begin reading until I tell you.
Skimming Practice:
McDonald’s Article
• First step: What does the title of the article tell
us about the general idea?
(Will the author present positive or negative
opinions about McDonald’s?)
• Now, read the introduction paragraph
completely and stop.
(Does the introduction give us what we
expected after looking at the title?)
Skimming Practice:
McDonald’s Article
• Now, notice the subheadings in the body.
How many are there?
- Read just the first sentence of all the body
paragraphs.
- Write in your book or notebook some key
words that show 3 or 4 problems with
McDonald’s that the author is discussing.
(health concerns, loss of culture, poor
treatment of workers, not convenient)
Skimming Practice:
McDonald’s Article
• Now, read the conclusion paragraph
completely.
- What does the author suggest as a response
to the problems with McDonald’s?
(do not support McDonald’s practices, don’t
eat there)
Globalization Discussion
Pros and Cons
• Read the article, “Pros and Cons of
Globalization”
• In a group of 3 or 4, have each person choose
one of the pros or cons to explain to the
group. Give an example of that pro or con as
you see it in China.
Homework
• Study for the quiz.
• That’s it!
