Choose ONE active reading option for Ch.5/6

Beginning with chapter 5, you may opt to create either an outline or flashcards, instead of both. However, carefully read the options below to be sure you are doing what is required.

OPTION 1: FLASHCARDS ONLY
Read the chapter actively and create a card for each of the following:
-bold vocab term
-italicized term
-theory
-concept (The objectives state concepts sometimes that are not bold, be sure to read the objective carefully and include these concepts!)
Each card must include
1. DEFINITION: a clear definition from the book
2. DESCRIPTION: details and related info from the book, and anything you want to add in your own words
3. EXAMPLE OR LINK: clear examples are provided in the text for almost every term. Use the textbook examples first! Then try to think of your own if possible.
4. Leave a little room for class notes, and bring extra blank cards to class.
You may still need paper in class sometimes, and you are still expected to keep a binder for other chapter activities.

OPTION 2: OUTLINE ONLY
Read the chapter actively and create an outline just as you have been doing.
Continue to leave space in the right hand column for class notes.
ADDITIONALLY, include each vocabulary term that is in bold or italics within your outline.
All vocab terms in your outline must be underlined or highlighted and include

1. DEFINITION: a clear definition from the book
2. DESCRIPTION: details and related info from the book, and anything you want to add in your own words
3. EXAMPLE OR LINK: clear examples are provided in the text for almost every term. Use the textbook examples first! Then try to think of your own if possible.

OPTION 3: CONTINUE DOING BOTH FLASHCARDS AND OUTLINE. BE SURE THAT FLASHCARDS INCLUDE ALL THREE ELEMENTS.

HAPPY ACTIVE PROCESSING!
