reading homework ?

As you study the text for your other class, be aware of the patterns of organization, or thought patterns, presented by the author. Being able to identify these patterns will help you conceptualize the content of the text.  It will also help you to know what kind of visual tool (map) to use to represent the information in a condensed form.  In this way you can create a study tool for preparing for tests in that class.

Find an example of a pattern of organization, or thought pattern presented by the author.  Include a comment about the clues the author gave you that helped you identify the pattern.  You will have to type the entire example in your submission.  

What to turn in:

• Submit a word document with the following
• The pattern of organization identified (this would be the title of your document)
• a direct quote (a paragraph or an entire section of material-- not just a sentence) from your textbook that represents this pattern of organization
• Submit the map you drew over the information presented in that excerpt that represents the pattern
• An explanation of your submission that includes the following
• a statement on how you determined the pattern of organization, or thought pattern (e.g. what were the transition words you picked up on...)
• a statement that identifies what map you drew over this material (and why)

You must submit all three things (completed word document, map, and explanation) for a completion grade.
