What direction should the teacher give for the initial reading in a close reading strategy?

Read the passage to determine the general meaning.
Notice the features of the text and predict the genre.
Skim through the text and locate an interesting detail.
Scan the passage and underline any unfamiliar words or phrases.

The correct answer is: Read the passage to determine the general meaning.

The initial reading in a close reading strategy focuses on understanding the overall gist or general meaning of the passage. This foundational reading allows students to grasp the central ideas and themes, providing context for deeper analysis in subsequent readings. By prioritizing general meaning, students lay the groundwork for more detailed examinations of text features, language, and structure in later activities. This broader perspective is essential for engaging with the text on a more critical level and aids in developing a comprehensive understanding as they delve deeper into analysis.
