After reviewing the study strategies about reading difficult material, engage in a discussion with your classmates about reading strategies.
Directions
- Review the material in the Study Guides and Strategies for Reading Difficult Material page.
- Develop first in a new Google Doc a discussion post that addresses:
- the ways the reading strategies you have used before worked for you and/or didn’t work for you,
- which new reading strategies you learned about that you might use to help you understand difficult text,
- why you think the new strategy will assist you,
- which reading strategies you learned about that you might recommend to a friend, and
- how you might change a reading strategy you learned about to better fit your needs.
- Copy and paste your post in the discussion.
- Review your classmates’ posts.
- Respond to your classmates’ posts about the strategies they found useful and whether or not you might use those strategies to understand difficult material.
