Anansi barely skimmed the journal article about spiders her Entomology professor handed out: too
much text, too much small print, too many big words. She rolled it up and shoved it into her backpack,
deciding to save it for "later." It is now "later"--how do you advise her to get started with this reading? -
"Anansi, you've got this. Before you read, preview. Look at the title, but ask yourself why you need to
read this--and why is the author writing in the first place? What do you already know about spiders?
Look at how the article is structured and where there are figures and tables. Where do you think the
author is going to go with this?"

understood and in his own words.

read so that you can speak cogently about the topic as a whole in class. What's your next step? - It is
time to take your notes and create a concept map so that you can summarize the material. You read
, actively, annotating your text and making a vocabulary list, so you can focus on organizing your learning,

Una has been assigned to read and report on William James's The Varieties of Religious Experience for

is my purpose for reading? What biases might I have? What do I need to know about the topic?
