Actividad de Metacognición.
In this activity you will work collaboratively in teams and write a book summary to
become aware of the importance of reading.
Reading yields great benefits, it’s a fact which cannot be questioned by anyone. This
is the reason one has to understand the importance of reading and be well versed
with this activity. In this world of competitiveness, its always advantageous to gather
vast knowledge, and there is no better away to do so, other than reading. So its high
time you found a cure for bibliophobia – fear of books, especially thick books- and
dive into the world of literature or whatever you like to read. If you are well informed
about different topics, you can have a conversation with anyone you want; it doesn’t
matter if he/she is someone older than you or has higher educational level or degree.

1.- Work in small groups. Discuss the following questions

a) ¿Do you think reading is important?

- Yes, because you can learn different facts about life, and you improve
your vocabulary.

b) ¿Can you learn about different topics through reading?

- Yes, because there is a lot of topics and genres

c) ¿Do you think reading can help you grow personal and professionally?
- Yes, because every reading you read is something new like words and
knowledge. And by the time you can speak formally and with
arguments.

d) ¿Do you have to travel to know a place or can you know it by reading?
- No, you can know a place by reading because in the book explains you
with pictures or describes you the place and you can imagine it.

2. Read the following quotation of John Starks:

“You learn so much through reading. It is hard to get anywhere in society today
without the basic, fundamental knowledge that comes from reading about what is
going on the world.”
3.-Work with your team. Explain your own words what John Starks’ quotation
means. Write it in your notebook.

We think this quote is correct, we agree with John Stark’s quote, because reading
can help you to understand a lot of facts than people who doesn’t, it maintains your
brain working and it grows your vocabulary making you a mind health person with
education and values.

student who wrote in a diary all his experiences and adventures during a school
year.
E. Why do you like it?: I really liked this book because reading everything that
Enrique lives in school makes you think that we all go through difficult things and
that we have to support each other.
F. Would you recommend it? Why?: Yes, I would recommend it because I think
it's a story that leaves you a great learning and you reflect a lot on the obstacles

everything that lives in a school year with his classmates, he has a teacher
named Perbono who educated them with emotional stories where the
protagonists were heroes children in the war or in life and thanks to those stories
 he learned a lot, it's a very interesting story because Enrique also tells all that his
classmates live, very difficult things, for example, the mother of one of them died
and another had financial problems. Also, in a part of the story Enrique tells that
his older sister Silvia listened to her parents talking about having economic
problems and the brothers decided to support their parents by not asking so

story is that we all live wars in life but that we can overcome them and learn from
them and that we must help others when we can.

Conclusions:
#2. Vanessa Arámbula: My conclusion is that it is nice that the school put us this
kind of activities because they force us to read, and that opens our minds, teach us
new things, speak with more formality and have a good reading comprehension,
since nowadays is very important. It leaves us with the desire to read the books that
others have already read.
#7 Andrea Briceño: In conclusion I can say that people who are used to reading
are very intelligent people, the have a lot of knowledge and they all have something
in common that it’s hard to see at first sight, they all have values, they have a good
behavior, they are respectful and they want to keep learning by themselves, they’re
independent and they learn easier than people who doesn’t read. I can also say that
lecture is a great wat to improve at life in general, it improves your comprehension,
your concentration, your mood and it makes you feel relaxed since you can dedicate
the time you want to, in personal , I only read books that I like, I don’t really like
novels or action books.

#9 Jaime Cantú: I think in this activity we are motivated to read as we deal more
closely with what we understood from a book specially I am a person who doesn´t
read that much maybe I read a book a year but thanks to this activity I am motivating
to read more since reading gives you the knowledge of new words and also
increases reading ability.
#20 Gabriel Soto: This book in conclusion is very good because it leaves you
thinking about what will happen next, it makes you get into the role and have
empathy towards the main characters, it causes you a sensation of wanting to
continue reading and knowing what will happen next or what will have happened
with the secondary characters that make the reader reach a point of doubt and desire
to continue reading.
#30 Andrea Luna: This activity helps us to have better vocabulary, also it helps us
to that we encourage to read mas books to have mas vocabulary, I hope that you
have liked and that you have learned very much on the different books that you can
read, for example of science fiction, romance, of personal overcoming, drama, etc.
In the personal thing I do not like to read so much but thanks to this activity they
gave to me desire of reading mas and of learning since it is very necessary and helps
you very much in your daily life.
#31 Carolina Martínez. In this activity we chose a book of our preference, that we
had to read, we were answering questions according to our book and explaining
what it was about, it helped us and motivated us to read and to know about what our
classmates like to read and books that they would recommend us.
#Giovanni Perez. I like this interesting activity because I am not one of those people
who reads a lot and thanks to this activity I was interested in reading, it also improved
my reading a bit because I had to read the summaries of my classmates' books.
#41 Ana Rivera My conclusion is that reading is very important because you learn
many different subjects and different cultures, improve your vocabulary, keep your
brain active, it helps you in the future lower the possibility that you have mental
illnesses such as Alzheimer's and awakens the imagination. I think we should
encourage more reading especially for children from a young age to make a habit,
we must change our way of thinking about reading, most people think that reading
is boring and tired, but you have to see it Otherwise, reading can also be fun and
entertaining if you read something about a topic that catches your attention. Finally,
I really like that in books you describe everything, things, people and places so you
can imagine everything and do like a movie in your head.

#45 Fernando Saldaña In conclusion I think that this activity is very good to
encourage reading and I feel that it will help us to learn a bigger vocabulary and be
interested in new things and learn things for a better future. I also think that we should
do this for pleasure and not for being a task.
#55 Devany Vazquez. To conclude with the activity is important because I learned
a little more vocabulary when reading a part of the book, it is similar to the movie but
more interesting. I think reading is an important part of our day to day because we
depend on reading in different aspects of daily life. I do not see a negative point of
reading, reading is a good thing because without reading you would not understand
things.
