this week i used the strategy of Charlie Reads SmarT for my two classes.
first of my class is linguistic 201. i am a visual learner. in my linguistic textbook, i chunk my reading assignment into several parts. basically i chunked my reading by different subtopics. in my linguistic chapter 8, which is mechanisms of language acquisition. there are four subtopic that are four very important hypothesis. after i chunk the subtopics, i read those sections with purposes. i turned heading into questions and i tried to find answers from the reading materials. i read those materials for review the lectures. i would like to deepen my lecture parts. after i read whole parts, i wrote summaries for each topics, so i could briefly review in the future. finally, i created couples of questions in order to test myself. from those questions, i could figure out the part i need to study more. i answered those questions, and tried to find the correct answers. as i mentioned, this strategy is called Charli Reads Smart.
in my another classes, it is enl 207. i have some reading homework assgiment to finish. i chose one of them to use strategy of CRMT. this is a almost 30 hundreds article. i chunk this articles into paragraphs. those paragraphs make up several chunks. after that i tried to read whole article with purposes. before that, i read questions first. when i read my article, i read with some questions. after read this article twice, i tried to summary this article and understood what this article talks about. summering helps me to understand the meaning of the whole article. after summary, finally i went to answer all the questions about this article.
i think this strategy is great, and it helps me learn how to read. when i evaluate this strategy, i think this strategy can be adapted to any kinds of reading in academic.
