APP #5 Reading Stategies

Two reading strategies that we tried last week were TART and Charlie Reads SmartT. 

With mid-terms coming up, both of these strategies will help by creating possible test questions. With TART, I looked for key term which are usually bolded  in the chapters, attended my class, listened for explanations, read over class notes and then created test questions. We both agree that we  liked TART better because it took into consideration attending class and just clarified what you learned in class by reading and then creating possible test question. We felt well prepared by using TART and that it will help in the next exam.

With Charlie Reads SmarT,  we had to read our assignemnts when we had study time

and could concentrate, then we had to summarize it by making notes cards, outline or some other summary and then created possible test questions.  This extra step did help us prepare for class and make understanding the chapter better but did take more time which is hard during mid term week.
