In class we discussed some pre- and post-reading skills that can help you understand the deeper meaning of what you read. Your task for this weeks online session is to put some of these skills into practice. I would like you to read a chapter from the book that you were given in class.
-Before you read that chapter, try some of the pre-reading strategies that we talked about in class. Pre-reading Strategies Pre-reading - Brookhaven College Reading Skills and Strategies for Students - Brookhaven College Reading Strategies - College Transitions.org -After reading your chapter, pick one or two of the post-reading strategies to help you understand what you have just read. Questions to respond to: 1. Which strategies did you use for pre- and post-reading? Why did you choose those specific strategies? 2. Did you feel that these strategies helped you better understand what you read? Why or why not? 3. Research a few more pre- and post-reading skills. What are a few of these skills? Why do you feel they would be helpful to you in college?

College Transitions: Discussion Blog
This is where we will have the online component to this course. Throughout the 14 weeks, you will be posting your thoughts to materials discussed in class or on this page. The idea is that you will all have a constructive conversation in this space on the readings provided. Please remember to be polite to each other (this does not mean you cannot disagree but rather disagree politely). Remember, this is a method of learning from each other so keep an open mind and enjoy your conversations! Archives
