* How to steal the good information from the textbook*
T-
Chapter Title
H - Section or Lesson Heading
I – Introduction
Write out/read the entire introduction
E – Every 1st Sentence of every paragraph
Use your brain when determining whether to write/read/use that 1st sentence. Is it
informative or just asking a question? Put the information in your own words
V – Visual/ Vocabulary
Only highlight words you think are important to the understanding of the chapter
E – End of Section Questions
S – Summary
I view this strategy as a mental strategy for students to use prior to starting a section or to
refresh their minds before a test, so they are not bogged down with excessive details and
information. This strategy will introduce them to the meat & potatoes of a chapter!
