them with your class in the next tutorial.
Tasks
A. Discussion

a partner, compare your list (a), steps for SQ4R.
2. What are some similarities and differences you
find in the resources on the 4Rs? 3. Which of these differing Rs work better for your learning style or major – recite &
respond
(from the first website) or relate & record (from the second)?
4. Compare
your list (b), steps for Annotation,
with your partner’s.5. What are some similarities and differences you find in the resources for Annotation?
6. Which of the differing approaches work better for you?
7. If time permits, share your answers with another pair or a small group.

and response

using (a) SQ4R on Madrid 1995:
“Diagnosing Climate Change” and (b) Annotation
on
“Runaway Globalization
Without

2. As a
class, discuss your response to these worked examples. Which strategy
works
better for your learning style or major? How would you vary or combine
the
strategies?
C. Reading and application

on the strategy you prefer; you may combine the strategies in your approach.
3. In about 30 minutes, get the most out of your reading using the approach you have

supporting points, key ideas, relationship
between paragraphs/sections,
development of the text, etc.
