  2. Module 7 Active Reading: Learning from Text

  3. Just Ask and Readings Will Stick To You! • Some students have trouble recalling info they have read. • Determine the (?) that the info answers, and you understand the info. • Identify the MAIN POINT, and then ASK the (?) that it answers. • Now you are using it to understand the material verses the lecture notes.

  4. The Basic Strategy: Scan and Question • Where to Write Questions from Text • It is best to write in the textbook itself! • Don’t be afraid! • Otherwise, write in notes in outline form (more on this later!)

  5. 4 Steps for Active Reading • Scan • Question • Scan the text and write Recap Questions from the headings. • This is the easiest part. • Just turn the headings into questions, often by just adding works like “What is…” before it and a (?) after it.

  6. 4 Steps for Active Reading • Read Q&A • Use first sentence for clues. • Look for signals of importance. • Lists, bullets, boldface, italics, etc.

  7. 4 Steps for Active Reading 4. Re-write +1 • It is important to re-read your Recap (?)’s after reading the text to assure the (?) asked during Scan were the ones answered in the text.

  8. Reasoning Questions • Reasoning (?)’s might be used as an essay question to test you on this material. • Reasoning (?)’s pop into your head about the material. • Reasoning (?)’s are not answered in the text.

  9. Summarizing It All The Q & A Outline

  10. What is a Q&A Outline? • A list of (?)’s that a text answers ( or suggests), which you provide, followed by the brief versions of the answers, which are embedded in the text (or inferred by you).

  11. What are the Types of (?)’s and Where do You Find Them? • Recap (?)’s : Summarize entire section sand found in headings and subheadings. • Reflection (?)’s: “Reflect” what a paragraph or two of text answers. • NO DETAILS! • Reasoning (?)’s: Based on inference, interpretations, or speculation on the part of the reader.

  12. What are the Steps in Constructing a Q&A Outline? • Read the heading or subheading of the section. • Construct a Recap (?) for each “”. • Read a portion of the text. • Construct a Reflection (?) for each “”.

  13. What are the Steps in Constructing a Q&A Outline? • Highlight or # the answer in the text. • Search for the answer to your Recap (?) you constructed and underline it. • At the end of each section (or a few short sections) construct one Reasoning (?) and write it in the margin at the bottom of the page.

  14. What are the Steps in Constructing a Q&A Outline? • Write a one-sentence answer to your Reasoning (?). • If you use an Outline Sheet, organize it in outline form by placing the (?)’s and “answers” in the order in which they appear in the text, labeled by (RC,RF,RS)

  15. WHEW! This takes a long TIME! • True! But it is more efficient than… • Reading but not understanding (waste of time!) • Reading and Re-Reading (redundant!) • Not reading at all (waste of college!)

  16. WHOA! This is hard to learn! • It takes practice and willingness to try to achieve mastery. • Once mastery is attained, it becomes as automatic as the procedure it replaced!

  17. Reading Science Textbooks • Science texts are similar to other texts. • Generally more headings and illustrations. • Use more Recap (?)’s and fewer Reflection (?)’s. • Use Reflection (?)’s for every illustration! • Reasoning (?)’s are especially important, even if you cannot infer the answers!

  18. Reading Math Textbooks • Must ask Recap and Reflection (?)’s that ask about problem-solving procedures. • “How do you solve…” • Reasoning (?)’s are not as applicable. • A special type of (?), the “Given/Find” (?), is also necessary.

  19. A Plan for Getting The Most From Text

  20. Scan chapter title, headings, subheadings, and illustrations (pages xx-xxx) Preview “” and write Recap (?)’s. Read and write Reflection (?)’s and highlight answers Underline answers to Recap (?)’s. Write Reasoning (?)’s and answers. Create Q&A Outline for pages (xx-xxx). Consider the following list of specific tasks for your To-Do Checklist:
