  3. Lecture Outline What are we going to do today? 1 . Finish up unit 5 2. Mik Unit 7 • Study Reading 3. Mik Unit 8 • Summarizing

  4. Unit 5:Reading Longer Paragraphs Effectively Mikulecky and Jeffries Class Discussion

  5. The Topic A Longer Passage is like a paragraph, it has: • Single Topic • Expresses a general (main) idea about that topic • Pattern of Organization • Uses signal phrases and words to indicate supporting ideas Topic: • Usually repeated many times to focus attention • It’s mentioned in: • The Title • The topic sentence of each paragraph • At least one other sentence in each paragraph Practice with identifying the topic on Pg. 155

  6. The Thesis Statement In a longer passage, the “main idea” (writer’s idea about the topic) is stated in a thesis statement: • A sentence • Tells the writer’s overall idea about a topic • Recognizing the thesis statement is the key to understanding a long passage Identifying the Thesis Statement: • Includes the topic • Usually found in the first paragraph (or paragraphs) • Complete sentence • Often indicates how ideas will be developed in the passage • Is supported by the ideas and information found in all of the paragraphs Practice with identifying the topic on Pg. 158-159

  7. Activities: Pg. 160-161 Practice Time with Activities

  8. Unit 7:Study Reading Mikulecky and Jeffries Class Discussion

  9. Study Reading In this Unit, you will practice 3 strategies for studying texts • To make sure you can learn and remember what you read • There 3 strategies are: • Text Marking • Writing Questions for More Effective Reading • Connecting Graphics and Ideas Let’s look at each strategy and practice with some activities…

  10. Strategy 1: Text Marking When reading a text with many facts and ideas • Mark important facts so that they stand out • Use this to review and remember material What should you mark in a text? • The Topic and the Main Idea • Thesis Statement (if clearly stated) • Signals for overall pattern (words like contrasts, however, etc) • Supporting details (key dates, names, examples) • Different ideas (from what you already know) • Items that are difficult to understand How do you mark a text? Underlining Circling (or making a box) Drawing lines or arrows Writing in margin Making a star in the margin Using question marks (or excl.) Numbering points Let’s practice with the example on pgs 184-185…

  11. Strategy 2: Writing Questions In addition to marking, write study and quiz questions • These two methods make using questions a study tool Study questions • Before starting to read, preview the title and headings • Form questions about the text • Help you focus your thinking Quiz questions • After finishing to read, make sure you marked the text • Form questions about the facts and ideas • Help you reinforce your learning Let’s practice with the example on pgs 186-190…

  12. Strategy 3: Connecting Graphics and Ideas Textbooks often use graphics to make a point • These graphics come in many forms, such as graphs, charts, tables, etc. • Always study graphics carefully When studying graphics… • Focus on the title of the graphic • Read the information, add information if necessary • Connect the ideas in the text with the graph (by marking) Let’s practice with the example on pgs 191-194…

  13. Unit 8:Summarizing Mikulecky and Jeffries Class Discussion

  14. Summarizing Another key strategy to learn and remember what you read is to summarize: • Rewriting the important parts in a shorter form • Using some words from the text, and some of your own • It’s useful for reviewing and memorizing for exams • Also, preparing information from different sources for a report or an essay There 3 types of summaries we will learn: • Summarizing a Passage • Summarizing Long Passages • Summarizing a Textbook Chapter Let’s look at each form of summary and practice with some activities…

  15. Summarizing a Passage Summarizing a passage has 2 main steps • First, write a one-sentence summary of each paragraph • Second, combine the sentences to write a summary of the whole passage Step 1: Summarizing a paragraph • Write a single, complete sentence • Include the main idea and supporting facts and ideas • Follow the same pattern of organization as the paragraph • Don’t add any facts, ideas, or opinions that are not in the paragraph Step 2: Summarizing a whole passage • Read the entire passage, and mark the thesis and supporting points • Determine the overall pattern of organization • Combine the paragraph summary sentences and create a short paragraph • Main idea of the passage should be the same, as well as the organization Let’s practice with the example on pgs 200-203…

  16. Summarizing a Long Passage When summarizing a long passage (longer than 5 paragraphs), you need to add an additional step: Summarizing a whole passage • Read the entire passage, and mark the thesis and supporting points • Determine the overall pattern of organization • Divide the passage into parts (each part matches a supporting point and is several paragraphs) • Write a summary sentence for each part • Combine the summary sentences and create a short paragraph • Main idea of the passage should be the same, as well as the organization Let’s practice with the example on pgs 206-207…

  17. Summarizing a Textbook Chapter Summarizing a Textbook Chapter, is easier in some ways • Chapters are usually divided into sections Summarizing a Textbook Chapter • The Introduction usually has a Statement of Purpose, find it: • Statement of Purpose: like a thesis, explains what the chapter is about and how it will be organized. • Headings of the Sections (titles) usually correspond to the topics in the statement of purpose, focus on them. • Write a summary sentence for each section • Sometimes one sentence may not be enough for a section, try to be as concise as you can • Combine the summary sentences and create a short paragraph • Main idea of the passage should be the same, as well as the organization Let’s practice with the example on pgs 209-211…
