Achieve 3000: Looks Great. But is it Really?

Hi, students.

This is Mr Harris.

And today we have an exciting article for you to

read with Achieved 3000.

We will discuss how to increase our success will achieve

3000. Well, we use reading strategies to comprehend the article

and complete the activity.

Questions. Why?

Because good readers recognize the value of practice and we

will be practicing with Achieve 3000 the entire year.

So when we look at the title looks great.

But is it really?

We're looking at something that's dealing with technology.

You look at the graphic the pictures shows a student

with something on their head like a headset.

And then this article there are five steps that we're

gonna entertain.

The first step is a poll.

Second, we will read the article.

Then we will complete the activity questions, return back to

the pole and then complete the thought question.

In this activity, though, I just want you to focus

on the first three steps the pole, the article, and

completing the questions.

So when you look at the poll, it says virtual

reality makes imaginary places seem almost riel.

People are worried, though, that the technology isn't safe.

Do you agree with that or disagree.

So the first step in this activity is to complete

the pole.

Next. I would like for you to take a look

at the reading and look at the vocabulary that's included

in that reading.

In this reading, we have words such as detached the

tractor illusion and simulate, and they also provide the definitions

to help us better understand these terms when they appear.

I would also like for you to look at the

article and scan to see if there are any additional

words that may be confusing, that you can use your

online dictionary toe help you comprehend.

I also want you to think about the topic.

For instance, we're talking about virtual reality.

Have you heard V R Before?

Or Virtual simulator?

Well, look at this photo of device.

You can put this device on your head as goggles,

and it creates a three D virtual reality world.

What is so interesting about these?

This has set.

Let's read the article to find out.

And don't forget, as your teachers have shared with you.

We're reading an informational text.

And so, in a informational text, the author will explain

or provide examples, they will possibly prove a position or

a claim.

They will entertain sometimes or they will persuade and convince

you. So what is the purpose of this particular text?

Is the reader trying to entertain you with something funny?

Or is the reader trying to explain something and give

you numerous examples?

So pay attention to those details to see what is

the purpose of this particular text?

The activity.

There are eight questions that you must complete.

You must get six out of the eight questions Correct

to show your teachers progress.

So take your time.

Return back to the article to make sure that the

answer that you're selecting is the best answer choice.

Now I wanna help you a little bit with vocabulary

in the activity.

There are two questions that you're going to deal with

that deals with vocabulary.

One question is about a synonym and the second question

is about an antonym.

So when we think of the synonym, the s and

synonym stands for the s insane.

A synonym is the word that means the same as

the word itself.

Whereas antonym is a word that means the opposite.

For example, my friend is also my companion.

Those two words are synonyms.

They mean the same Well, what is an anti them

of my friend.

If you're not my friend, you are my enemy or

my opponent.

Those two words mean the opposite of friend and companion.

So friend and companion or synonyms, whereas friend and enemy

are anti Nim's.

So hopefully this graphic will help you to get those

two questions correct and a little bit more help here.

One of the questions that's in the activity talks about

which how this article could be used as a source

for research.

When we talk about sources I know in social studies,

you're talking about for primary and secondary sources.

How could you use this particular article for research paper?

The answer choices could look something like these that we

see below.

If I'm writing about the lunch of a humanoid robot

in the workplace with this article, help me with that

type of research paper.

I don't know until I read the article.

Am I writing?

If I'm writing about the launch of a computer generated

animation and film with this article, support that type of

paper or essay E don't know What about the use

of simulation in today's technology cut?

This article about the V R.

Has set be used to support an article or research

on simulation.

Lastly, the use of technology at various Internet cafes.

If I'm writing a research paper about Internet cafes and

the technology there, could I use the article that we're

reading in are achieved to support that.

So pay attention to what you're reading and get this

question right for me, please.

Then the last thing students, we want to return back

to the pole and see if our ideas about technology

has changed.

After reading the article, you may also be interested in

to see how other students responded to that question.

We're excited for you to read this article, and especially

as we tackle the unit on technology, we're gonna learn

about so many different types of technologies.

And hopefully the V R fold headset will be something

that you will remember and do well in the future.

Thank you so much for joining us today and we

will see you next time
