National Behaviour Support Service. — 10 p. (Автор и год не указаны).The Somebody-Wanted-But-So (SWBS) strategy is used during or after reading. It provides a framework to use when summarising the action of a story or historical event by identifying key elements. The strategy also helps students identify the main ideas, recognise cause and effect relationships, make generalisations, identify differences between characters and look at various points of view. It is more often used with narrative text but can also be used with expository text. For example SWBS can be used to summarise the goal/motivation, conflict, event or barrier of a historic or contemporary character or group of people. Explicitly teaching key reading comprehension and learning skills — making connections, self-questioning, visualising, inferring, determining importance, summarising, synthesising and self-monitoring — can help students become more purposeful, active readers, thinkers and learners.Here is an example of SWBS strategy:Somebody (Juliet).
Wanted (Wanted to marry Romeo).
But (Romeo was a Montague, an enemy to her family).
So (She and Romeo had Friar Laurence marry them in secret without their families’ knowledge).
