Today's Learning Goals
- I will be able to describe active reading and explain how it differs from passive reading.
- I will be able to use some active reading strategies, specifically questioning and annotation.
- I will be able to develop questions based on my reading of an informational text.
- I will be able to annotate an informational text.
Today's Agenda
- Introduction to "The Nuclear Tourist," building background knowledge
- Introduction to active reading strategies
- Using active reading strategies as we read "The Nuclear Tourist"
"To travel far, there is no ship better than a book"
- Emily Dickinson

Active Reading
Passive Reading
Boosts focus and engagement Leads to higher retention and deeper understanding
"What did I just read?" or "Zzzzz" Leads to low retention and shallow understanding
Active reading = deliberately engaging with the ideas and information in a textCharacteristics of active reading:- Inquiry
- Dialogue with the author
Active reading strategies: Questioning Annotation
Questioning
Speculative (what if...)
Factual (WWWWH)
Example: What are radionuclides?
Example: How will mammals evolve/mutate after another century of life in the exclusion zone?
Comparative (this/that)
Evaluative
Example: What are the similarities and differences between the Chernobyl Disaster and the Fukushima Disaster?
Example: Should tourists be allowed into the exclusion zone?
Annotate = An + note + ate
Notare"mark, note"
ad"to, toward"
signals averb/action
When you annotate something, you attach notes and markings TO it.
In March 2022, Russian forces withdrew from Chernobyl.
Over the next seven months, workers encased the reactor in a steel-and-concrete structure known as the sarcophagus. Because it was hastily built and structurally unsound, the sarcophagus was eventually covered by the New Containment Structure (NCS). Construction of the NCS lasted from 2010 to 2017.
Minutes after the initial explosion, the first group of firefighters arrived on the scene. A few hours later, helicopters began dumping sand, lead, and clay onto the reactor core to slow down emissions. Within weeks, 28 plant workers and firemen had died of acute radiation syndrome.
For thirty-six hours, Soviet officials refused to inform residents of nearby towns about the disaster. Evacuations did not begin until 2 PM on April 27. According to a United Nations report on the long-term health effects of Chernobyl, radiation exposure resulted in thousands of cancer cases.
Construction of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant lasted from 1970 to 1977. In a 1986 interview with Soviet Life, a government official stated: "The odds of a meltdown are one in 10,000 years."
In February 2022, Russian forces captured Chernobyl. They occupied the area for five weeks.
On April 26 of 1986, plant operators ran a safety test. Design flaws and human errors compounded, leading to the breakdown of Reactor No. 4's core. At 1:24 AM, an explosion blew the reactor's roof into the sky, and uncontained radiation spewed out.
This unit's central text, published by National Geographic in 2014
In 2011, The Ukrainian government opened parts of the exclusion zone to organized tour groups. The site became a popular attraction for "dark tourists."
Published in 2015, data from a long-term scientific study shows that the exclusion zone became a safe haven for wildlife in the absence of humans.
