WEBVTT 00:00.780 --> 00:01.220 OK. 00:01.230 --> 00:06.060 So let's get started with our fill in the blank fill in the blank question examples. 00:06.060 --> 00:10.740 I'm going to go through a few examples of the field in question to make sure that you understand how 00:10.740 --> 00:17.100 to do this for the child's reading comprehension as we know with that fill in the blank question. 00:17.250 --> 00:18.740 The question go in order. 00:18.760 --> 00:23.280 So it's very important for us to first look at the questions and decide which ones are going to be the 00:23.280 --> 00:28.590 fastest for us to do first which ones are going to be the easiest to find because once we have our starting 00:28.590 --> 00:34.070 point or STARTING POINT we'll know where the other questions are in terms of being able to locate them. 00:34.230 --> 00:36.650 So that's the first thing we want to try to do. 00:37.380 --> 00:41.300 But in terms of strategy we have to look at have to look at the question. 00:41.440 --> 00:46.020 Then we have to look at the keywords in the question and we find the keywords in the question we have 00:46.020 --> 00:52.880 to scan and locate the sentence that have has those key words Lobb and because that's the sentence that 00:52.890 --> 00:54.560 the question is based on. 00:54.690 --> 01:00.810 And then we read that sentence and we'll be able to locate which which work goes on the blank line word 01:00.810 --> 01:02.820 or word is on the blank line. 01:02.820 --> 01:07.020 And we have to keep in mind that our answer is going to connect to the words to come before or after 01:07.020 --> 01:07.800 the blank line. 01:07.800 --> 01:11.430 So this question is fairly straightforward. 01:11.700 --> 01:15.900 What I'm going to go through several different examples and show you how to do it. 01:15.900 --> 01:23.290 So here is Example Number one that we're going to go through right now. 01:23.320 --> 01:23.820 All right. 01:23.850 --> 01:32.910 So we're looking at and this comes from the Cambridge Wild's book 10 test to reading passage to I encourage 01:32.910 --> 01:44.760 you to buy the books for the Cambridge eyeless book in Cambridge out book Nine and also the official 01:44.760 --> 01:54.870 child's practice test or eight of them that come in a set from 2014 and I encourage you to buy them 01:54.870 --> 01:58.140 so that you'll be able to practice and follow along with us. 01:58.380 --> 02:02.720 But that's what we're using for our practice our teaching this class. 02:02.850 --> 02:05.970 So I encourage you to buy those books and to practice along. 02:06.000 --> 02:06.840 Here we go. 02:07.230 --> 02:10.990 So we have a reading passage about gifted children and learning. 02:11.220 --> 02:15.480 You don't need to read the passage in advance it's not necessary to do that. 02:15.480 --> 02:23.340 Some people will say well look at the topic sentences of the paragraphs and do it's a waste of time. 02:23.580 --> 02:26.200 It's not necessary to do that. 02:26.690 --> 02:32.610 If you know which questions go in order that's going to give you all the guidance you need to be able 02:32.610 --> 02:34.900 to move quickly through a reading passage. 02:35.010 --> 02:35.880 That's what you have to do. 02:35.880 --> 02:38.690 You have to move through it quickly and efficiently. 02:38.880 --> 02:43.080 That's very very important that you're able to do that quickly and efficiently. 02:43.080 --> 02:43.680 All right. 02:43.920 --> 02:48.930 So let's go ahead and why don't we. 02:50.010 --> 02:51.310 Let's move it. 02:51.310 --> 02:54.340 Let's move up to. 02:54.810 --> 02:55.920 This is big enough. 02:55.920 --> 02:56.550 This will be fun. 02:56.550 --> 02:59.440 We have a we have a big enough bow. 02:59.710 --> 03:01.660 All right. 03:01.670 --> 03:03.700 So let's move down. 03:06.370 --> 03:14.800 You think this better for you is bittersweet. 03:14.890 --> 03:16.680 Reduces it too much. 03:21.540 --> 03:24.810 Let's go down to our first set of questions. 03:24.810 --> 03:30.500 All right and here we go we have question 23 24 25 26. 03:30.500 --> 03:36.620 So when we look at these questions look at which ones are going to be the easiest to do first. 03:36.650 --> 03:39.660 So I would definitely say the number 23. 03:39.740 --> 03:40.970 Well look at number 23. 03:40.990 --> 03:47.330 It says what one study found the strong connection between children's IQ and the availability of blank 03:47.360 --> 03:49.100 and blank at home. 03:49.170 --> 03:50.040 What are the key words. 03:50.040 --> 03:52.110 Number 23 there are going to help us a lot. 03:52.130 --> 04:00.170 Our children's IQ and also study children's IQ and study and also the word home. 04:00.370 --> 04:07.150 Those are key words from the question and we were taught them of course nouns and verbs which are key 04:07.150 --> 04:09.130 words. 04:09.430 --> 04:17.650 And then for the rest of them is pretty much almost the same number 25 also might be easy to find because 04:17.650 --> 04:24.250 Number 25 has the word metacognition and that word is going to be very easy to locate also the word 04:24.250 --> 04:26.400 metacognition. 04:26.500 --> 04:32.720 So the easiest ones are probably fine here in number 23 and number 25 if we know where those two are. 04:32.950 --> 04:38.500 Dan will be able to locate number 24 26. 04:38.560 --> 04:39.810 Little bit easier. 04:40.210 --> 04:41.570 But these questions go in order. 04:41.570 --> 04:49.270 So first try to find Number 23 first and look for a sentence that has the keywords of children's IQ 04:49.270 --> 04:52.000 and home and discussing a connection. 04:52.000 --> 05:00.130 So look for that first and see if we can we can find that find that first to make it big enough for 05:00.130 --> 05:12.860 you guys be able to see well. 05:12.900 --> 05:21.370 So what I'm doing is I'm scanning down I see a lot of work actually a lot of IQ IQ in this sentence. 05:21.400 --> 05:29.030 I see children and I see IQ but I don't see anything about children in IQ. 05:30.660 --> 05:38.270 I'm still looking for a center to deal with children and IQ and home. 05:39.270 --> 05:40.410 All right so 05:49.900 --> 05:56.280 think we've found our Serjeant's right here. 05:56.320 --> 06:01.110 All right this sentence right here will be our key word sentence right here. 06:01.110 --> 06:01.510 All right. 06:01.520 --> 06:08.780 Because this sentence is dealing with children's IQ scores. 06:08.870 --> 06:12.820 Here we have our keywords write together children's IQ. 06:12.890 --> 06:13.230 All right. 06:13.230 --> 06:14.580 Children's IQ. 06:15.380 --> 06:17.760 And this is exactly how it appears. 06:18.050 --> 06:20.360 And the question with children's IQ. 06:20.630 --> 06:27.070 So this is our key word sentence so we're talking about are key words sentence. 06:27.070 --> 06:35.600 I'm talking about the sentences stretches from the sentence that stretches from the where it says the 06:35.600 --> 06:42.260 higher the children's IQ scores especially over IQ 130 the better the quality of your educational backup 06:42.980 --> 06:47.270 measured in terms of reported verbal interactions with their parents. 06:47.330 --> 06:49.460 The number of books and activities in there. 06:49.490 --> 06:50.990 There's our word home. 06:51.320 --> 06:55.280 Right we have children I accused scores and the word home. 06:55.460 --> 07:00.800 So we're looking for the end of the wires that connect to the word home and our answer will be books 07:00.920 --> 07:02.660 and activities. 07:02.910 --> 07:10.560 Right we look back at it the question why children's IQ. 07:10.560 --> 07:15.270 Home the words we have they have two words that are connected to the word home. 07:15.480 --> 07:22.200 So the answer is number 23 will be books and activities books and activities because those are the two 07:22.200 --> 07:27.030 words that are directly connected to the word home. 07:27.030 --> 07:30.810 Books and activities directly connected the word home. 07:31.080 --> 07:32.790 So does our answer. 07:32.790 --> 07:33.240 That's the answer. 07:33.240 --> 07:36.410 Number 23 OK. 07:36.810 --> 07:43.240 So now let's move on and see if we can find number 25 07:55.230 --> 07:57.400 why of the question. 07:58.110 --> 08:06.690 Here's number 20 25 metacognition involves children understanding their own learning strategies as well 08:06.690 --> 08:13.770 as developing software to find our key word sentence dealing with metacognition and children's understanding 08:13.770 --> 08:14.850 and learning. 08:15.030 --> 08:20.750 Those are key words metacognition children understanding and learning. 08:21.060 --> 08:30.150 And we know our answer is going to connect to a word that is related is a synonym or direct a direct 08:30.150 --> 08:35.170 copy of the word developing is probably going to be a synonym for that sentence. 08:52.390 --> 09:00.150 So I'm scanning down after our previous sentence because it goes in order so I know I know it's going 09:00.150 --> 09:06.740 to come after this sentence right here that talks about that. 09:06.740 --> 09:07.150 All right. 09:07.160 --> 09:11.830 So here's here's our sentence right here. 09:11.830 --> 09:17.100 Here's the word metacognition here's the word children here's the word learned. 09:17.350 --> 09:21.640 So this sentence right here starting with the words emotional awareness. 09:21.640 --> 09:33.370 This is our sentence that we need to be looking at in terms of what is develops our sentences emotional 09:33.370 --> 09:38.230 awareness is also part of metacognition. 09:38.470 --> 09:43.990 So children should be helped to be aware of their feelings around the area to be learned. 09:43.990 --> 09:53.220 Feelings of curiosity or confidence for example emotional awareness is also a part of metacognition. 09:53.220 --> 09:53.610 All right. 09:53.620 --> 09:56.180 So we look at our question for number 25 10:02.450 --> 10:08.340 metacognition involves children understanding their own learning strategies as well as developing. 10:08.500 --> 10:16.430 Answer here the goals is emotional awareness or emotional awareness is what we'll go here on this sentence 10:17.060 --> 10:22.610 because it says emotional awareness is also a part of cognition. 10:23.160 --> 10:24.330 All right. 10:24.350 --> 10:28.140 Emotion awareness is also a part of our metacognition. 10:28.220 --> 10:34.400 So our answer for number 25 is metacognition evolves. 10:34.400 --> 10:41.120 Children are starting their own learning strategies as well as developing their emotional awareness. 10:41.170 --> 10:48.400 Right now we know we're number 23 years and we know we're number 24 years so now we're for number 23 10:48.400 --> 10:50.570 as we know we're for 25 years. 10:50.570 --> 10:56.420 So identifying were 24 is actually going to be really easy because number 24 has to come from a sentence 10:56.780 --> 11:01.680 that is found in-between number 23 and number 25. 11:01.760 --> 11:04.600 So it's that will look and see if we could find that. 11:04.640 --> 11:12.830 So our key word is the 24 children of average ability seem to need more direction from teachers because 11:12.830 --> 11:14.880 they do not have. 11:14.900 --> 11:17.540 All right so what don't they have. 11:17.540 --> 11:17.870 Right. 11:17.870 --> 11:21.410 Children of average ability seem to be seem to need more direction from teachers. 11:21.410 --> 11:26.740 Key words here are children of average ability and also teachers. 11:27.140 --> 11:31.980 And our answer is going to connect two words related to what they do not have. 11:32.060 --> 11:34.860 Our answer has to connect to something they do not have. 11:35.060 --> 11:40.550 But we're going to use the word teachers and children and average ability to locate our sentence so 11:40.910 --> 11:45.200 I know where to look or know where to look. 11:45.410 --> 11:53.750 Because here is emotional awareness and up here as are other senses that we use when there were 23 down 11:53.750 --> 11:59.150 here for emotional whereas where does the where we use where we look for it was 25 and found it so that 11:59.150 --> 12:03.940 means that our answer's going to be in between here is that we're looking for a sentence talking about 12:03.950 --> 12:04.670 teachers 12:07.580 --> 12:15.910 and teachers and it's only earlier if you're looking at this with me when you're in your own book then 12:15.960 --> 12:26.730 you can try to look for with me and we're scanning for this sentences talking about teachers. 12:27.020 --> 12:28.060 Here we go. 12:31.880 --> 12:34.780 Here's a sentence thought with average ability. 12:34.850 --> 12:38.230 There it is right there average ability and the word teachers. 12:38.270 --> 12:43.670 So that's our sentence and as we can see is exactly how I told you what happened and go the questions 12:43.670 --> 12:50.470 go in order number 24 is after Number 23 or 25 is the number 24. 12:51.030 --> 12:55.940 So we're looking for something that they don't have in this sentence. 12:55.940 --> 13:02.180 There's going to be laying which is related to the words do not have and that's going to be our answer 13:02.180 --> 13:03.140 choice. 13:03.530 --> 13:09.410 So in a sense there appears to be a qualitative difference in the way the election will intellectual 13:09.410 --> 13:17.750 highly able think compare with more average ability or older pupils for whom external regulation by 13:17.750 --> 13:23.200 the teacher often compensates for the lack of internal regulation. 13:23.420 --> 13:32.780 So our answer is internal regulation because the words lack are the lack of is the same as do not have 13:33.970 --> 13:35.920 a lack of it do not have. 13:36.140 --> 13:39.420 We know our answer has to connect to do not have. 13:39.600 --> 13:43.550 So it means that our are serious internal regulation. 13:43.610 --> 13:44.740 See how it works. 13:46.060 --> 13:46.980 Right. 13:47.400 --> 13:55.020 You find your sentence and then you find the language you find the language that is connected to the 13:55.020 --> 14:01.620 answer choice in that sentence in the passage and you always know what are is right and that's how you're 14:01.620 --> 14:05.930 able to move through very quickly without without much effort. 14:05.960 --> 14:08.400 There's look at our last question. 14:08.430 --> 14:10.960 Question number twenty six. 14:11.110 --> 14:17.850 And if you're if you're looking at it with me like I said you can scan with me because scanning is really 14:17.850 --> 14:20.530 an exercise that you want to be able to work on. 14:20.550 --> 14:23.150 You have to work on your ability to scan. 14:23.260 --> 14:29.430 All right you have to you have to have to have to work on your ability to scan and locate sentences 14:29.430 --> 14:34.290 that is probably the number one skill you have to be good at doing when it comes to reading comprehension 14:34.290 --> 14:35.290 of scanning. 14:35.730 --> 14:44.880 All right so number 26 It says teachers who rely on what is known as blank or produce sets of impressive 14:44.880 --> 14:46.890 grades in class tests. 14:47.310 --> 14:57.690 So key words is number 26 and I'm looking for teachers impressive grades in class test teachers grades 14:57.990 --> 15:01.380 class teachers grade class Test. 15:01.920 --> 15:10.250 Our answer is going to connect to no one has our answer will connect to known as a first or sentence. 15:10.380 --> 15:12.420 And we want to find our sentence. 15:12.420 --> 15:14.690 We look for the language that's connected to that. 15:14.700 --> 15:16.650 Do those words before the blank lie. 15:16.890 --> 15:21.210 And that will always point us to the answer choice. 15:21.210 --> 15:21.580 All right. 15:21.600 --> 15:26.460 So let's take a look at that teacher's grade class. 15:26.470 --> 15:28.730 I know comes after number 25. 15:36.570 --> 15:40.660 So 25 is what was right here with emotional awareness. 15:41.040 --> 15:43.660 So there's nothing about teachers here. 15:49.240 --> 15:57.060 Deep down there is instructor there's nothing about grades or test. 15:57.270 --> 15:59.090 Let's keep going down 16:08.350 --> 16:08.840 are. 16:08.920 --> 16:10.250 Here we go. 16:10.760 --> 16:11.080 All right. 16:11.080 --> 16:14.930 So here we have an example of a combination. 16:15.460 --> 16:16.310 OK. 16:16.600 --> 16:22.070 We have an example of a combination. 16:22.600 --> 16:27.240 And when I say combination I'm talking about we're starting right here. 16:30.780 --> 16:37.930 We're going to start right here where we see Conversely in the word teachers. 16:38.070 --> 16:43.970 Want to start there but we have this sentence but also we have this next sentence right here which is 16:43.980 --> 16:47.040 extremely high examination results. 16:47.070 --> 16:52.920 So here we have what happened here is a situation that happens sometimes on reading comprehension where 16:54.180 --> 17:00.360 they'll take two sentences from a paragraph and combine them into one sentence one compound sentence 17:00.360 --> 17:08.280 one complex sentence or one long simple sentence with all combined combined two sentences into one sentence 17:08.280 --> 17:09.280 for a question. 17:09.570 --> 17:15.970 But when you look at the passage is broken up in the two sentences So here we have that situation. 17:16.860 --> 17:21.670 Extremely high examination results. 17:22.010 --> 17:29.030 Inversely teachers who have a tendency to overdo recked can't diminish their give to pupils learning 17:29.030 --> 17:30.590 autonomy. 17:30.590 --> 17:35.930 All those spoon feeding can produce extremely high examination results. 17:36.100 --> 17:41.250 These are not always followed by equally impressive lies to life successes. 17:41.240 --> 17:42.020 All right so 17:44.840 --> 17:48.080 look at the question. 17:48.630 --> 17:55.110 The answer is spoon feeding because they're saying here off can often produce sets of impressive grades. 17:55.460 --> 17:56.140 All right. 17:56.440 --> 17:57.960 So work and produce. 17:57.970 --> 18:02.740 Like I said the language will come with what connector was before or after a blank line. 18:02.950 --> 18:10.830 So here whatever this is we'll produce sets of impressive grades in class whatever it is. 18:10.840 --> 18:16.300 So look here is this spoon feeding can produce extremely high examination results. 18:16.510 --> 18:21.400 So the correct answer is spoon feeding spoon feeding is what will produce those results. 18:21.720 --> 18:22.190 OK. 18:22.210 --> 18:30.970 So this is an example of the fill in the blank question and I hope you enjoyed it we're going to go 18:30.970 --> 18:37.600 through another example so I can kind of tell you how it's done in terms of just going over with you 18:37.600 --> 18:38.000 again. 18:38.020 --> 18:44.110 So make sure that you understand how to do this within the play question for example so I'll talk to 18:44.110 --> 18:44.940 you soon. 18:45.160 --> 18:47.560 And if you have any questions about anything. 18:47.560 --> 18:52.720 Be sure to send me a message and I'll be happy to answer it for you. 18:52.720 --> 18:56.290 So thanks a lot and I'll look forward to talking to you again soon. 18:56.290 --> 18:57.060 Another example.
