6 Direct students to sketch some of the images and to write the corresponding words that elicited that visualization. Provide students time to share their drawings and respond to those of others.
7 Based on the observations you made during the first reading, you may want to adjust the reading mode. For example, you may decide for the second reading to read aloud certain complex passages, or you may group students differently.
8 SECOND READ: During the second reading, students will be returning to the text to answer the text- dependent comprehension questions. You may choose to have students reread and work on the questions in a variety of ways:
• independently
• in pairs
• in small groups
• together as a class
9 Have students answer the text-dependent questions. If they have difficulty, scaffold the questions by rephrasing them or breaking them down into smaller parts. See the Scaffolding the Text-Dependent Questions boxes for suggestions.

The latest arrivals at Los Angeles International Airport are ready now to claim their new lives.
Above them in the terminal, voices are repeating, over and over, in Japanese, Spanish, and unintelligible English, “Maintain visual contact with your personal property at all times.” Out on the sidewalk, a man’s voice and a woman’s voice are alternating an unending refrain: “The white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only. No parking.” There are “Do Not Cross” yellow lines cordoning off parts of the sidewalk and “Wells Fargo Alarm Services” stickers on the windows; there are “Aviation Safeguard” signs on the baggage carts and “Beware of Solicitors” signs on the columns; there are even special phones “To Report Trouble.” More male and female
