Reading 1& 2 Note to Teachers
7
Tapestry Reading 1 and Reading 2 are high begin-
ning and intermediate reading texts for ESL/EFL stu-
dents who are working toward a level of literacy that
allows them to read, write about, and discuss a vari-
ety of topics. Vocabulary and writing are integrated
within the texts, with the primary focus on improv-
ing students ability to evaluate and respond critically
to the material and to each other. In these texts, stu-
dents have the opportunity to discuss topics and is-
sues that are important in any language. These issues
provide authentic reasons for students to read and
become engaged in classroom activities.
Due to the nature of the topics, access to newspa-
pers, magazines, and the Internet will help the in-
structor and students provide further updates and
ideas to enrich the reading experience.
Syllabus Planning
Here are suggestions for putting together a syllabus
based on three different term lengths: five-week, ten-
week, and fifteen-week. These suggestions are based
on the Reading 1 text. A similar schedule can be fol-
lowed for the Reading 2 text.
Five-Week Syllabus
Depending on the intensity of the five-week course,
the instructor may have to skip some items in the
book. Here is a suggested syllabus for a five-week
course, omitting some readings.
Ten-Week Syllabus
Complete one chapter each week.
Fifteen-Week Syllabus
The fifteen-week course will often use this book in
addition to one or more other books. However, if it
is the only text, it is suggested that extra time be
taken on the following chapters:
Chapter 1. Add time to go over use of the book
and strategies.
Chapter 2. Add time to work on journal-keeping
and understanding implications in reading.
Chapter 3. Add time to locate other readings
about medical issues and to practice skimming.
Chapter 5. Add time to locate news resources on
public transportation issues. Have a class debate
about the topic.
Chapter 10. Add time to allow students to lead
class discussions.
Using the Features of Tapestry Reading
Several standard features and activities will appear in
every chapter of the texts. These include:
Title page photo with accompanying activity
Setting Goals
Getting Started

Threads
While they are included in every chapter, these fea-
tures will not always appear in the same order. Using
different sequencing allows for a comfortable, natu-
ral flow from one activity to the next depending on
chapter content while still providing certain recogniz-
able activities to create cohesion and make students
feel comfortable.
The following chapter overview provides a de-
tailed explanation of the purpose of each activity or
feature, guidelines for how to use the activity or fea-
ture, and suggested time allowances. When consider-
ing the time allowances, please remember that these
Note to Teachers

Chapter 4: Readings 2 & 4, and the CNN video
Week 3 Chapter 5: Readings 1 & 3
Chapter 6: Readings 3 & 4, and the CNN video
.
are only suggestions and may need to be modified de-
pending on the level of students and classes and the
length of the class period.
Chapter Overview
Title page photo with accompanying activity: The
photo and an activity, which is usually made up of a
brief paragraph followed by a question, or simply a
series of questions, is the first introduction of the
chapter topic and content. It serves to build schemata
and to provide students with an accessible way to en-
gage in the topic.
Suggested time allowance: 5 minutes
Setting Goals: Each chapter will have a clearly stated
list of objectives for students to work on. These come
immediately after a brief introduction to the chapter
and help students focus on the work to come, gearing
their efforts towards reaching specific reading and
learning objectives. The instructor should have stu-
dents read the goals out loud and perhaps discuss
each goal briefly to make sure all students under-
stand what they will work to achieve throughout the
chapter.
Getting Started: This pre-evaluation activity is di-
vided into two parts. The first part addresses student
knowledge of and comfort with the content area cov-
ered in the chapter. This includes reading the titles
and authors. The second part addresses the specific
reading skills that will be taught in the chapter. The
Getting Started activity may consist of true/false
statements, values clarification, cloze exercises, or
multiple-choice items. Students should complete the
activity individually, but when they are finished they
can discuss their answers with a partner or in a small
group. In some chapters, students may be specifically
asked to do this as an introduction to another activ-
ity. When introducing the activity, the instructor
should stress that there are no right or wrong an-
swers in the activity. Rather, students are encouraged
to explore their own attitudes, beliefs, concerns,
strengths, weaknesses, and knowledge.
Getting Ready to Read: This feature focuses on a
question or activity, in order to prepare students for
the reading. It typically includes some kind of discus-
sion or writing question to prepare students for the
topic, as well as a Vocabulary Check for students to
preview potentially difficult vocabulary items.
Read: The authentic reading may be a newspaper or
magazine article, poem, textbook or essay excerpt, or
literary excerpt. Each chapter will focus on a specific
topic and present different aspects of that topic, usu-
ally from different global perspectives.
Suggested time allowance: This will vary
greatly with the length of the readings. Some
longer readings may be better done as home-
work.
After You Read: The post-reading activities focus
first on comprehension of the facts of the reading.
Then students are asked to think critically and re-
spond to what theyve read. These questions some-
times ask for personal opinion and personal experi-
ence. The questions are designed for discussion, but
could be done in writing as well.
Suggested time allowance: 30 minutes of dis-
cussion, or as writing homework
Vocabulary Building: Students have the opportunity
to put into use some of the new or important vocab-
ulary of the chapter. These activities may be multiple-
choice, matching, close, or open-ended, focusing on
comprehending vocabulary items.
Suggested time allowance: 20 minutes of class
time, or as homework
Tuning In: The CNN
video clip features a story re-

lated to the chapter topic. The video clips will usually
be 23 minutes in length. Since the pace of the video
clip may be fast for some students, it may be neces-
sary to play the clip two or three times. The focus
should be on comprehension of the topic and the
way information from the video clip relates to the
readings in the chapter.
Grammar You Can Use/Language You Can Use:
These activities focus on a grammatical point or lan-
guage point that is relevant to a reading or to the lan-
guage of the chapter. These activities include a review
of a grammar or language point, and an exercise that
asks the student to apply the point in context.
Putting It All Together: This culminating activity
provides an opportunity for students to apply much
of what they have learned throughout the chapter.
The activity will focus on reading and other language
skills, as well as the topic of the chapter. Students
may be asked to respond to questions, write in their
journals, complete dialogues, respond to language
prompts, or list ways they can apply Language

Learning Strategies and Academic Power Strategies
they have studied in the chapter.
Check Your Progress: This final activity is a brief
self-assessment. Students will re-examine the goals
stated in Setting Goals at the beginning of the chap-
ter and decide how successfully they have met these
goals by the end of the chapter.
Test-Taking Tips: There is one Test-Taking Tip in
each chapter. They offer students practical steps for
improving their test results. The tips are aimed at im-
proving students testing skills in a variety of envi-
ronments, such as take-home, open-book, multiple-
choice, essay, and so on.
Language Learning Strategies: There are two Lan-
guage Learning Strategies in each chapter. These
strategies give information about specific things stu-
dents can do to maximize their own language learn-
ing. Strategies may focus on ways to deal with read-
ing speed and comprehension, memory, organization,
rhetorical strategies, or other topics. Each Language
Learning Strategy will be incorporated into a specific
reading activity, with steps outlined in Apply the
Strategy. These application steps will show students
how using the strategy can help them to read and
learn more successfully. The instructor may wish to
have students read the strategy themselves and then
discuss the application steps as part of the directions
for the activity, or the class can go over the strategy
together, perhaps even generating additional sugges-
tions for ways in which the strategy can be applied
outside the classroom environment.
Academic Power Strategies: There is one Academic
Power Strategy in each chapter. Academic Power
Strategies provide information about specific things
students can do to maximize their own success in the
classroom/academic environment. Such strategies
may address areas such as study skills, culturally ap-
propriate classroom behaviors, or time management
skills. Each strategy will immediately be applied to
an activity, and students will see how to practically
incorporate the strategy to academic activities or sit-
uations by following the steps in Apply the Strategy.
The instructor may wish to have students read the
strategy themselves, or the instructor can review the
strategy with the whole class, discussing the applica-
tion steps as part of the activity instructions.
Threads: Threads are placed in the margins of the
text and appear in two formsquotes and facts. Fac-
tual threads provide information relating to the topic
of the chapter and may support information which is
presented in a general way in a listening passage,
reading passage, video clip, or discussion activity.
Quotes can be used to stimulate conversation, work
on paraphrasing skills, or as prompts for journal en-
tries. However, it is not necessary for the instructor
to use Threads as part of the classroom lesson plan.
Suggested time allowance: The time will vary
depending on how the thread is used. The in-
structor may wish to point out facts that are rel-
evant to an in-class activity. More time should
be allowed for discussion of quotes or to com-
plete writing activities or journal entries.
Other Tools
Reading Journals
Students should be encouraged to keep reading jour-
nals. In these journals they should informally re-
spond to their reading. These journals should be used
for unstructured, unedited thinking on paper. Ask
students to write one page for each reading they do.
Collecting the journals from time to time will encour-
age students to complete this important part of the
reading process.
Vocabulary Logs
Students can keep a section of a notebook, or a sepa-
rate notebook for vocabulary notes. They can use the
Vocabulary Check in the book in addition to other
words that they found difficult. The entries in their
notebooks should contain any kind of information
that will be helpful in understanding the word. For
example, they might include pronunciation notes,
spelling difficulties, example sentences, connotations,
and so forth. Students can be encouraged to share
their vocabulary logs with each other on a regular
basis.

The Raven and the
First Men
1. The four functions of totem poles are: 1) house
posts (support for houses), 2) posts in front of
houses to identify families, 3) memorial poles
that held human remains, and 4) poles raised to
honor dead chiefs.
2. The story of The Raven and the First Men is
the story of a raven walking on a beach who en-
counters a clam shell. The raven opens the shell

Reading 3: A Japanese Myth: The Crane
1. The young man found the crane caught in a
snare while he was walking through the moun-
tains.
2. He released her from the snare.
3. The woman came to the mans house because
she had lost her way in the mountains.
4. She wove him a thick roll of fine brocade.
5. He could not watch her weave because she was
really the crane, and she wove with her feathers.
6. She left him after he discovered she was a crane.
Once he knew she was a crane, she had to leave
him.
8. This story is more like a fairy tale than a myth.
None of the themes associated with myths, such
as the creation of the world, people or animals,
is present. It seems more like a traditional fairy
tale.
A crane was caught in a snare. A young man released
her. Later, a woman appeared at his door at mid-
night. She said she had lost her way. He was shocked
to see her there. She wanted to show her gratitude.
So, she wove him a thick roll of brocade.
She never let him watch her weaving. But, one
night he saw her. He discovered she was a crane
wearing a mask. She slipped away and left him
forever.

so boring that he or she almost fell asleep at the
movie. Also, a polishing stone is a stone used to
polish other things, so both forms are possible.

Weddings
The two most important people at a wedding are the
bride and groom. Their parents become in-laws.
In some cultures, it is a custom for the bride to have a
dowry. The dowry may include linen, china, or VCRs, or
it may include things that are necessities.
After the wedding ceremony, there is often a recep-
tion, or party for the newlyweds. At many American wed-
dings, it is a custom to give the guests souvenirs of this
party, such as matchbooks or small cakes.
