Homework
This is your homework in your RAD class for ENGWR 300! The journal homework asks you to create an homework for yourself using multiple RAD strategies (KWL+, Metacognition, Annotation, Double Entry Journal, Patterns Graphics Organizers, Purpose, Style and Speed) you will use on your ENGWR 300 reading before your class next week. The following reflection questions will help you choose what to do:
a. Think about the next reading tasks you have coming up in ENGWR 300. What will you read? What will be your purposes for reading?
b. Review your metacognitive check-ins from the entire class. What strategies were most useful to you?
After thinking through the above questions, write the following in a journal.
First, how will you apply the reading process to your next reading homework?
Here are some examples of what this answer might look like:
I am doing a research paper. I will survey articles in the library research database. Then, I will choose four and skim them Finally, I will decide which ones you will use. Once I decide, I will carefully or generally read one of the articles. Before I read it, I will predict the pattern of organization, annotate the article, and use the pattern of organization to help me identify the important points in the article.
or
I am going to read a new book so I will survey the chapters first. Then, I will identify the topic, assess my schema, and complete a KWL chart to build my schema. Then, I will read and annotate the chapter.
