2. What do you think about Evaluating idea, Generalizing, Taking Note, Outlining,
Summarizing, Underlining, ?
Answer:
- Evaluating Idea
Evaluating is a reading strategy that is conducted during and after reading. This involves
encouraging the reader to form opinions, make judgments, and develop ideas from reading.
Teachers can create evaluative questions that will lead the student to make generalizations
about and critically evaluate a text
- Generalizing
generalization is defined as a broad statement or an idea that is applied to a group of people
or things. Often, generalizations are not entirely true, because there are usually examples of
individuals or situations wherein the generalization does not apply. In this respect,
generalizations can be similar to stereotypes in that they are sometimes offensive.
- Taking Note
Taking note is the practice of recording information captured from another source. By taking
notes, the writer records the essence of the information, freeing their mind from having to
recall everything.[1] Notes are commonly drawn from a transient source, such as an oral
discussion at a meeting, or a lecture (notes of a meeting are usually called minutes), in which
case the notes may be the only record of the event. Note taking is a form of self discipline.
- Outlining
An outline help a reader understand the topic of a reading by looking at the organization of
the details in the passage. Readers can use two types of outlines when breaking down the
information in a reading
- Summarizing
Summarizing is how we take larger selections of text and reduce them to their bare essentials:
the gist, the key ideas, the main points that are worth noting and remembering. Webster's.
calls a summary the "general idea in brief form"; it's the distillation, condensation, or
reduction of a larger work into its primary notions.
- Underlining
This strategy helps students reduce a lengthy passage into a comprehensible and manageable
size by marking the text using a systematic technique. On the FCAT, students are allowed to
write on the passages to be read. Therefore, if they have been trained to underline effectively,
they may be able to increase their comprehension.
By raising students' awareness of reading as a skill that requires active engagement, and
by explicitly teaching reading strategies, instructors help their students develop both the
ability and the confidence to handle communication situations they may encounter beyond
the classroom. In this way they give their students the foundation for communicative
competence in the new language.
b. Speaking is the second language skill we acquire in our native language. It is what is known
as a productive skill, or an active skill, as it requires us to use our vocal tract and our brains to
correctly produce language through sound. It is the second of two natural language skills.
c. Reading is the third language skill we may acquire in our native language. As with listening,
it is a receptive, or passive skill, as it requires us to use our eyes and our brains to
comprehend the written equivalent of spoken language. It is one of the two artificial language
skills, as not all natural spoken languages have a writing system.
d. Writing is the fourth language skill we may acquire in our native language. As with
speaking, it is a productive, or active skill, as it requires us to use our hands and our brains to
produce the written symbols that represent our spoken language. Along with reading, it is one
of the two artificial language skills, as not all natural spoken languages have a writing system.
Hyperbole: An extravagant statement; the use of exaggerated terms for the purpose of
emphasis or heightened effect. Example: I have a ton of things to do when I get home.
Simile : is a figure of speech that makes a comparison, showing similarities between two
different things. Unlike a metaphor, a simile draws resemblance with the help of the
words “like” or “as.” Therefore, it is a direct comparison. Example : John is as slow as a
snail.
Thesis : The world has a beginning in time, and is limited with regard to space."
Anthithesis : The world has no beginning and no limits in space, but is infinite, in respect
to both time and space
