  5. Before you start to read • Survey • List the title of the article • Read the summary or abstract near the title ( if available) • Scan the headings • Question • Write one sentence identifying what you think the article will be about • Why is this topic important? • How or when might you personally use this information? Williams (2005)

  6. Reading the article • Read • Read the article • Create a summary using bullets under each heading (note: PowerPoint is good for this!) • Write a one sentence summary of each section • Make a vocabulary list of unknown terms and look up their definitions • Summarize any supplemental text (e.g. graphs, tables, sidebar, appendix, etc.) Williams (2005)

  7. The Five Re’s • Reflect • Stop analyzing for now • Think about the topic as a whole for at least 24 hours • Review • Review the headings, bullet summary, and section summaries • Take another look at the tables and diagrams. How significant are they? Williams (2005)

  8. The Five Re’s (2) • Rehash • Share your interpretations, summaries, and opinions with a learning team • Actively listen to peer opinions • Rethink • Ponder others’ points of view. Do a one page reflection on this. • Reevaluate • Edit your headings, bullet points, one sentence summaries as needed • Develop a “plan of action” for using the information Williams (2005)
