  1. P.L.A.N. A strategy to use before, during, and after reading

  2. An effective way to read college textbook chapters • Predict • Locate • Add • Note

  3. PREDICT – the first step • Preview a text and PREDICT the content and structure before reading. • Look at headings, graphics, pictures . . . • Create a MAP of the text’s structure.

  4. PREDICTING with a map (Unit 6 – Inside Reading II) Good and Bad Fat Fatty Acids Fat for Brains Omega-3s and the brain

  5. LOCATE • Think about your prior knowledge --- what you already know about the topic. • Skim the text quickly. • On your map, put a checkmark on what you know and a question mark on what you don’t. • You’ll now know what you need to pay the most attention to.

  6. Example of LOCATING using your map Good and Bad Fat Fatty Acids Fat for Brains Omega-3s and the brain

  7. ADD • Add information to your map while you’re reading. Stop after each paragraph and think about what to add (if anything). • Include main ideas and important details from the text.

  8. Example of ADDING using your map Good and Bad Fat Fatty Acids Fat for Brains Omega-3s and the brain

  9. Good and Bad Fat

  10. Now you try ADD important information for the last two sections of the text. You can do this on one sheet of paper or on two separate sheets. (One way to think about this is to imagine that you’ll need these pages to review for a final test in three months.)

  11. NOTE • NOTE after you read to help you remember what you’ve read. • You can write a summary, recreate the map from memory, make an outline of the chapter using the map, discuss the ideas in the text, answer comprehension questions, do other exercises from the text . . .

  12. Example of NOTING – summary (p. 74) The right food can help us mentally and physically. First, we should not eat a lot of fat, and when we do, we should eat more unsaturated (liquid at room temp, from vegetables) than saturated (solid at room temp, from animal products, causes heart disease and depression). We should eat enough essential fatty acids for physical and mental health, especially omega 3’s (good for the brain, in canola oil and fish). Without enough DHA (from Omega 3 oils and breast milk), IQs go down (especially in children), and depression can occur.

  13. NOTING, continued • Noting also included doing chapter exercises. • Do: • Page 74 – Reading Comprehension • Page 75 – Step 1 vocabulary • Page 77 – Vocabulary We’ll do page 76 together

  14. HOMEWORK: Read pages 79 – 80 using the P.L.A.N. technique Do Reading Comprehension – page 81 Page 81 Step 1 Vocabulary Page 82 Write a one to two paragraph summary of the text. Write 6 sentences, each using one vocabulary word from Unit 6, about your diet (real or ideal) or your plans to change in your diet.
