Survey Strategy and guide
Students will build background knowledge about the reading material. Teachers use to refer to this strategy as "taking a picture walk" through the text before reading it. Along the way students will take a purposeful, detailed look at features such as text type, main idea, headings, subheadings, key vocabulary, significant diagrams, pictures, and maps of the designated text. Experts have said that previewing the text before reading allows students reading performance to increase (Miller & Veatch, 2011, p. 60).
Procedure
(Worcester Polytechnic Institute, n.d.)
Tied To writing
Students are able to use their prior knowledge and their findings within the text to interrupt what they think the text might be about. They can use these inferences to make predictions about the text and later assess their work to see if they are correct.

This teacher does a great job of first introducing the strategy and demonstrates how to use it, stopping when she needs to clarify what is expected of the teacher.
How to Do a survey of text before reading
(Clark, 2014)
This gentleman does a great job of explaining the procedure and what you need to do and look for while doing a text survey. He also shows the article and what it looks and sounds like.
