Chapter 12 Summary of Mindful Writing
- Ask questions while reading including: What does it have in common with my previous knowledge, do I agree with what they're saying, what anecdotes are similar, exc. We do this because it's priming. It is better learned and more durably remembered.
- Various texts in various situations require various reading strategies
- Be aware of who writers are, why they wrote this, when they wrote it, their purpose, rhetorical strategies, and how they constructed an experience for their readers.
- Remember that you can question what the authors are saying
- If we think about how we're approaching our learning, we act with greater purpose, and skill.
- Set goals to focus on how you'll be reading- reward after
- Social goals- talk to someone about what you're reading
- Instead of highlighting, write off to the side why you're highlighting it. Ask questions in margins.
- Sometimes reading is not about every nit-picky detail. It's more about the the big picture so skip some things.
- Summarize: main point, argument, conclusion, message, theme
- Retrieval or self- quizzing after reading
- Be an active learner and don't space out. Remind yourself why you're reading in the first place.
- Reflect on what you just read
- Build a learning process that works for you
