Previewing

Activity 2.6 Opener: ﻿/ Activity 2.10

I think that when you are previewing a reading it means that you are trying to get the general point of it before you actually read the reading. It helps to preview a reading beforehand so you can get the gist and it may help you understand what you are reading better. It is very important to preview writing becauseit will help build your reading skills as a reader.

Activity 2.7 Previewing Essentials:

__Previewing essentials__ :


 * Attempt to ascertain the topic and subtopics of your reading
 * Get a feel for the layout and structure of the reading (especially headings)
 * Identify potential key terms or concepts
 * Make connections to your prior knowledge
 * Make predictions
 * Ask questions that you hope to be answered by reading & attempt to answer them

Activity 2.8 Previewing Model:

I like the previewing model because I think that it would be a great example and reference for me. BUT I think that the model should have a Column title. I think that you perfectly utilized the idea of quick notes and content response-ing (CCQ). I like that you put the general on the left side and some analysis on the right side. Always the analysis outnumbers the the other side.
