How did you do?
• This was a homework practice. Hopefully you did it! ;)
• From now on, you will turn in your homework for a grade.
• You will have a homework sheet. • Today we will talk about ways to find
information in reading. This will help you answer more questions correctly.
Scanning
• Scanning is when you read the questions first. Then, you find a key word in the question.
Find the most important word in the question!
In Chapter 2, look at pg 13, 1B. 1. Ann Hill thinks the woman in the black coat is
_____.
What is the most important word in that question?
Keyword(s)
Ann Hill thinks the woman in the black coat is _____.
Most of the reading is about Ann Hill. So Ann Hill is important. But “the woman in the black coat” is THE KEYWORD here.
So we look in the reading and find “the woman in the black coat.”
KeywordsAnn Hill works for airport security. One morning at work, she speaks
into her radio. “Look at the woman in the black coat,” she says. Her partner answers, “Right. Let’s go ask her some questions.”
The woman in the black coat is in line at the checkpoint for airport security. This is the place where people stop for examination of their papers and possessions. The woman looks like all the other passengers, but Ann Hill notices some small differences in the expressions on the woman’s face. Her eyebrows go up and move together. Her eyelids rise. Her lips pull towards her ears. All this happens quickly, but it’s enough for Ann Hill. The facial expressions tell Hill that the woman is hiding something.
Like many other security workers, Hill has special training in reading faces. She looks for microexpressions. There are very small changes on a person’s face. They show the person’s thoughts or feelings. Microexpressions can often tell you more about people’s feelings than their behavior can.
Keywords
• Notice that Ann Hill is mentioned many times, but “the woman” is only in the first two paragraphs. This will help you find the information you need.
• Now you can focus on these two paragraphs.
Keyword
2. The woman’s ______ do not move.
What is the keyword in this question?
Keyword
2. The woman’s ______ do not move.
What is the keyword in this question?

Now we scan the reading to find the word “move”.
