class
-expectations that
students will read texts and prepare for class
-check your notes
from your reading- comments, key points, quotable words Evidence that you are prepared for class
I will check for
notes on Tuesday
Some people find
reading for school to be challenging. They may not read much in their personal
life. It seems like video is replacing books for information delivery and
entertainment.
Video is a pale
comparison to a book.
Personally, I
strive to be a daily reader.
In high school and
expecially post-secondary, you will have to read large amounts of content
daily. In college and university you will be reading and processing large
amounts, dozens and dozens of pages a day.
MY TECHNIQUE
For school, I read
a book or a text at least twice. (3-4 times)
FIRST READING – “armchair
reading”
- relaxing in a comfortable chair, cup of
tea
- quiet place,
earplugs, helps with concentration
- Turn off the
phone! – hurts your concentration
- minimize the
distractions
*** multitasking is
a lie- You cannot do two activities
that require brainpower at once. i.e. listening to music and studying at the
same time
First reading –
read for basics of the text:
FICTION-setting,
characters, conflict, plot,
NON-FICTION- the
main ideas, the argument
SECOND READING- “desk
reading”
- school or work desk
- with a pencil or laptop
-making notes
-
make notes as you read, make notes on what you read.
-
something interesting or noteworthy? make a note with page #
- seems important?
make a note with p #
-confused,
difficult? definitely make a note with p#
Prepared for class.
Good feeling.
- jot down key words and ideas as you read
them
-find quotable words and phrases
“second-class citizens”p?
big part of academic is quoting from texts
You should make
notes because you will forget if you don’t. If you don’t refresh the new
information, it will be gone in three days.
Keep your notes in
a safe place. You can go back and refer to your notes many years later. The
notes will jog your memory of what the content of the book was. You can use
text notes or mind maps. Mind maps are visual representation of information.
Notetaking is a
very powerful tool. It will really help you get through courses and school
feeling organized and prepared.
Our class blog is
just a collection of notes from the daily class.
My school reading
routine is first reading and second reading. Then I feel like I am ready for
class. It takes time, but you get faster and better at it with practice.
ADVICE:
First reading-
armchair and tea.
Second reading-
desk and pencil.
