Textbook Reading Notes
This semester, as I assign chapters from the textbook, you will complete "reading notes" for each assigned chapter. Yes, reading your textbook takes time. And yes, adding reading notes takes even more time. However, it is time well spent, as it will not only prepare you for class, but also in how to approach textbook material for other classes. Each set of notes must include the following 3 parts: pre-reading reflection, post-reading reflection, and questions (I'm hoping to get answered in class) 1. Pre-reading Reflection This section of your notes should be done before you begin reading the actual chapter. For the pre-reading reflection, you should preview, or browse the chapter. When previewing, look at section headers, images, bold texts, side notes, etc. to familiarize yourself with key points that may be discussed and key sections of the chapter. Once you are finished previewing the text, take some time in your journal reflecting on the following questions:
• What key concepts in this chapter am I already familiar with and to what extent? • What key concepts am I most interested in learning from this chapter and why? (You can
discuss multiple concepts or just one) • What are your goals for learning as I read this? In other words, what should I learn by
reading this assignment? • How do I think this chapter will help me as a writer, critical thinker, or student?
2. Notes while reading This second section is not formally included in the assignment, but it can be if it helps you. For this section, take notes as you read through the chapter. You may do this in whatever format or note taking strategy you are already familiar with. You may try outlining the chapter, taking Cornell notes, mapping the chapter, or annotating directly in the textbook (or with sticky notes). As you read and take notes, you may find yourself skimming sections of the text, which is fine so long as you're still focusing and paying attention. Reading a textbook is never consistently reading: sometimes you skim sections that discuss familiar concepts and sometimes you may slow down to read in detail something that you are less familiar with or that is presented in a new and interesting way. Trust your instincts in this as long as you are fighting your instinct to skim through the entire thing. ☺ 3. Post-reading Reflection After you are finished reading, it is important to reflect on what you've read. In the post reading section, you should address the following:
• Write a brief summary of the 3-5 most important points or concepts from the chapter • Were there any concepts in this chapter that you were already familiar with but were
explained in a new way to you? • Overall, what did you think of this chapter?
4. Questions (I hope to get answered in class)
Janowicz/ENGL1A/Spring2018 17
In this section, write any questions about the content that you are not sure about, OR list any key terms or concepts that you would like to have explained more thoroughly in class. Requirements for Reading Notes:
• Make sure each one is titled • Each section of the notes should be clearly indicated or marked • Notes should be typed • Aim for at least 1 full page at minimum • Think critically and read thoroughly!
