Your friend has been highlighting almost every word of the chapter. What strategies would you suggest to help her identify what is most important?
What will be an ideal response?
First, survey or preview the chapter to get a sense of the organizational structure. You can also survey other resources such as Power Point slides your professor may have created. You can then identify a small section of the chapter to read. Use an active reading technique such as 3R (read, recite, review) and don't highlight until you get to the review stage of the process. At this point, you will have a better understanding of the topic and will be better equipped to identify what is most important. Another great strategy is make reading social by comparing what you've highlighted to what one of your classmates highlighted. This can lead to a dialogue about the important points from the chapter.
