Helps with concentration & focus Four rules of underlining: › The main idea (topic sentence) in paragraphs › The support for those main ideas › The answers to your questions › Only the key words
8
Often not possible to read word for word What do you already know about topic? What do you need to/want to know? Learn to focus on key features › Titles and subtitles › Section introductory paragraphs › Bulleted and numbered portions › Highlighted or boxed material › Illustrations, graphics, charts › Chapter/section summaries

12
Write only about 1/3 as much as original Concentrate on main ideas, not details Use your own words ( paraphrase ) › But don’t change the author’s ideas
13
Seldom use direct quotations Cite the author and title of text Use author tags to indicate summary › “..., says York.” › “According to York,... ” › As York explains,... ”
