Learning : Class Discussion
|
STRATEGY: Class Discussion
When you know that an assigned reading will be discussed in class, use the “60-second” note card. This will not only help your class discussion, but also strengthen your understanding of the material.
Materials you will need:
2) 4 different colored highlighter pens While reading, apply the appropriate color highlighting to selected parts of the reading. For example: While you are reading, if you stumble across information that looks like it supports the thesis(main idea) highlight that information with the ORANGE highlighter. Follow the same idea with all 4 sections of the Discussion Notes template. After you have completed the reading, go back and review the reading one color at a time. Paraphrase the highlighted information onto the appropriately colored areas of your Discussion Notes template. Source: Mooney, J. and Cole, D.(2000).
