Complete 9A and 9B. Do your best and we will review in class on Tuesday.
Helpful tips
Write notes in your own words instead of copying down information from the book.
Avoid over-highlighting. Highlighting doesn’t do much to actively engage the brain, so it’s not the most useful strategy. Also, highlighting too much can keep you from focusing on the main ideas. For tips on highlighting more thoughtfully, see the strategies on our highlighting handout.
Wait until the end of a page to take notes so that you can better focus on what you are reading and so that you can try to summarize in your own words rather than copy.
You don’t need to write pages of notes—keep them brief and focused.
Preview the chapter before you start reading by looking at the text features to gain clues about the main ideas of the chapter.
Focus on the main ideas and concepts.
