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?"
Javonte is starting the research for his paper on nuclear arms treaties. He's tempted to just copy and
paste chunks of material from the originals, but instead, he decides to paraphrase in addition to selective
quoting. Why is this a good idea? - He will have the gist of each author's ideas on paper, already
understood and in his own words.
What is the best way to annotate a text? - If you are actively engaged with the reading, consistent, and
clear while annotating concepts, questions, and comments, the precise methods you use don't matter.
You just finished reading several scholarly essays on the same topic, and you take a look at the pages of
notes you made about it. You see some repeated themes, but you need to make sense of what you just
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,
which is the point of a concept map.
Una has been assigned to read and report on William James's The Varieties of Religious Experience for
her philosophy class. Her brother read it in college and told her that it's pretty dense, and it's definitely
long. Una wants to get started right away. She's used to annotating, but she wants to incorporate
questioning into her reading practice. Which questions should she ask before she starts reading? - What
is my purpose for reading? What biases might I have? What do I need to know about the topic?

David and Yesenia are working on their physics project. David notices that as they work, Yesenia has
gotten a lot more efficient about getting through each article. What's her secret? - Since the articles are
