Chapter 6: Keeping Track of Information Active Reading Skills, 2/e Kathleen McWhorter Brette McWhorter Sember PowerPoint by Gretchen Starks-Martin

Five Ways to Keep Track of Information 1.Highlighting 2.Marking 3.Outlining 4.Mapping 5.Summarizing

Highlighting Effectively 1.Read a paragraph or section first. 2.Highlight important portions of any topic sentence. 3.Be accurate. 4.Highlight the right amount. (No more than 20 to 30 percent of the material.)

Marking to Record Ideas 1.Circle the words you do not know. 2.Mark definitions with “def.” 3.Make notes to yourself. (“example,” “test question,” “reread,” “ask instructor.”) 4.Put question marks next to confusing words or passages.

Outlining I. Major topic A. First major idea 1. First key supporting detail 2. Second key supporting detail B. Second major idea 1. First Key supporting detail a. Minor detail or example b. Minor detail or example 2. Second key supporting detail II. Second major topic A. First major idea

Outline of an Essay: Your Friend’s Vacation in San Francisco I. Favorite Places A. Chinatown 1. Restaurants and markets a. Fortune cookie factory b. Dim sum restaurants 2. Museums a. Chinese Culture Center b. Pacific Heritage Museum B. Fisherman’s Wharf 1. Pier 39 a. Street performers b. Sea lions sunning themselves on the docks 2. Ghiradelli Square

Suggestions for Outlining 1.Don’t worry about following the outline format exactly. 2.Use words and phrases or complete sentences. 3.Use your own words, and don’t write too much. 4.Pay attention to headings.

Mapping: A Visual Method of Organizing Information 1.Identify the overall topic or subject. 2.Identify major ideas that relate to the topic. 3.As you discover supporting details that further explain an idea already mapped, connect those details with new lines. See Figures 6.1 to 6.4 in your book for examples of maps.

Example of Mapping How children learn to manage emotions They learn how they’re supposed to feel They learn to show or hide feelings They learn how to change their feelings

Example of Mapping Process: How to Prepare A Garden Bed Find a sunny spot. Remove weeds, rocks, and debris. Smooth out lumps with rake and then plant! Loosen soil and dig about 12” deep. Mix compost to a depth of about 6-8”.

Summarizing: A Brief Statement that Pulls Together the Most Important Ideas You Have Read 1.Underline each major idea in the material. 2.Write one sentence that states the writer’s most important idea. 3.Use your own words. 4.Focus on the author’s major ideas, not on supporting details. 5.Keep the ideas in the summary in the same order as they appear in the original material.

Evaluating Your Progress Use the “Outlining and Summarizing-Spring Break in Florida” module in the Reading Skills section on the MyReadingLab Web site at
