Today, I put you into small groups to discuss the reading you were given yesterday. You were to use the questions from how to analyze a text to do this.
I then discussed how important active reading is, including paraphrasing paragraphs as you are reading (not doing it like an additional activity). I then gave you questions based more on paraphrasing than on reading of the entire paragraph for you to answer independently. Students who paraphrase are, generally, much quicker at finding the answer than those who do not paraphrase. If you were not here, the questions are in your portfolio.
