Write these strategies in your journal and circle a few you will use today. * Break lines into smaller chunks * Use notes in margin to clarify * Read along as people read aloud or volunteer to read aloud * Choose to intentionally listen * Listen for fluctuation of the voice to help you better understand a character’s emotions * Identify a listening goal (like listening for the answer to a SGQ) * When the instructor says, "this is important" get it exactly and * (mark it). Get a reference to the text if you can. * Write notes in key words, short sentences and with abbreviations that make sense to you now and later when you study.
