I have to say that this was a very eye-opening assignment. It never occurred to me the frustration that a student must feel when they have no idea what a reading passage is talking about when they are trying to read and comprehend a passage. If they have no prior knowledge then they are more than likely to feel the same way that I did. Reading this passage was like reading a foreign language when I was trying to understand this. Many questions and passages like this are in workbooks and standardized tests. For instance a story about a snow plow may come up on a standardized test but where I am from students have probably never even seen snow and they would have no prior knowledge what so ever. As a college student I was able to answer these questions because I have the skills to know how to find those answers in the reading and I am able to just copy the answers. I was not able to recall anything from my reading except that I was very frustrated after reading the passage. Doing this activity really made me think. The next time that I am going over a reading passage with my students I am going to make sure that they have some of the prior knowledge that they need to be able to understand the passage.
