Guided Practice
In this lesson, we will work through some questions related to this skill in multiple choice format.
Don’t forget about our steps for success:
Step 1: Read the question to establish a purpose for reading
Step 2: Read the passage and identify the topic
Step 3: Ask yourself “what is the author trying to convey about the topic?”
Let’s get started!
Trending Health
Throughout our world today, many people are concentrating on bettering themselves. This may include obtaining mental health support, finding a more effective workout, or maintaining a healthy diet. Many dieticians today support the idea of body positivity. When working with dieticians with this mindset, clients are encouraged to pair their favorite foods with more fiber and protein. By keeping their favorite foods in rotation, clients can continue enjoying their food while incorporating healthier options and are therefore able to maintain a healthier lifestyle.
Remember to ask yourself, “what is author trying to convey about the topic?”
Let’s do another question together!
Salmonella
Around 4,000 people are affected by Salmonella poisoning each year. In most cases, Salmonella is contracted by coming into contact with food that contains traces of animal feces. Symptoms of Salmonella poisoning include fever, severe diarrhea, and intense stomach ache. Due to its seriousness, it is important to take steps to avoid infection. Wash food such as fresh fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Handwashing is another key part of prevention, especially after interacting with animals.
Now, let’s review the other answer choices to understand why they are incorrect.
