  5. Reading Smarter: SQ3R • S = Survey • Q = Question • R = Read • R = Recite • R = Review Microsoft, 2011

  6. SQ3R Practice • Directions: • Read the brief paragraph and complete the SQ3R notes on your own. • Pair up with a partner and discuss what you have written for each part of the SQ3R process.

  7. Survey • First, I’ll look over, or survey, the article. • The headers and table tell me it’s about Oklahoma in the 1930’s, the dust bowl, farmers’ lives, and rainfall. • What else can I learn from a quick survey of the passage?

  8. Question • To help me focus on each section, I’ll turn the headers into questions. • What was Oklahoma like in the 1930’s? • What was the dust bowl? • What was a farmer’s life like in Oklahoma in the 1930’s? • How much rainfall did they have in Oklahoma in the 1930’s? Was this normal? • What other questions did you have written down?

  9. Read • Now I’ll read carefully to find the answers to my questions and record my answers.

  10. Recite • I can recite, or say the most important ideas in each section in my own words. • In Oklahoma in the early 1930’s, a drought caused the soil to dry out and the wind blew the soil everywhere. They called this a dust bowl. Farmers could not farm because there was so little rain. In fact, there was about 4 inches less rain per year than in previous years.

  11. Review • Were all my questions answered? I’ll review to find out. • All of my questions were answered. • Reviewing is an ongoing process, so I can keep these notes to review regularly. • These notes may be helpful for completing an assignment or studying for a quiz or test.

  12. Q-Notes • Q-notes are two-column notes that can be used to study for quizzes and tests. • Divide your paper in half vertically • In the left column you write questions. • In the right column you write notes that answer the questions. • Q-Notes can be taken during class lectures, while reading, or to re-write notes you’ve already taken Questions Notes
