• In the same groups, use your highlighted text to complete part 2 of the worksheet.

• For all 6 questions, write no more than 80 words.

• Write bullet point notes only.

Remember: summarising = paraphrasing and reducing the length of a text.

Use your summary notes to practice giving an oral (= spoken) summary to another student.

Guidelines:

• Don’t read exactly from your notes - use them as a guide only.

• Get another student to time you: aim to speak for 3 minutes*.

• [Optional suggestion: try recording yourself and then upload your recording onto the padlet.]

c. Why is this problem/question important/interesting？

2023-11-14 16:06:40 UTC

walking is one way to solve the urban problems caused by automobiles, and it has become the basic background for Compact City and Transit-Oriented Development. In fact, the transition from automobile-centric cities to pedestrian-friendly cities is gaining attention worldwide.

d. What methods were used (in general)？

2023-11-14 16:07:32 UTC

Among them, we investigated the attribute data by dividing the overall satisfaction with the walking environment into a 5-point Likert scale from ‘very unsatisfied’ to ‘very satisfied.’ These data were collected from individual surveys of pedestrians passing through representative points,

a. What problem/question does this research consider?

xou2 — 2023-11-14 16:12:39 UTC

However, few studies have looked at the relationship between walking as an activity and the walking environment because that project is labor-intensive, and the scope of analysis has been limited to field investigations or surveys.

b. Which key terms in the article do we need to learn more about?

xou2 — 2023-11-14 16:13:22 UTC

Compact City

Likert Scale

Transit-Oriented Development

Machine Learning Model

Composition Ratio

• We are now looking at the second question in the summary worksheet

• You will need to find background information for two words or terms from your chosen journal article

• In the final assessed individual presentation you will need to speak for thirty seconds about each word or term.

• The information you supply should help you and your audience to develop a deeper understanding of your summary

Work in pairs. Open the ‘Example Summary with Highlighted Terms’

• For which TWO highlighted terms in the example summary do you think more information is needed?

To help you to choose two terms, study the guidance questions on the next slide.

Open the ‘Activity 3 Incomplete Example’ document. Use the example to answer the Activity 3 questions :

Why does the student think it is important to contextualise ‘streetscapes’?
Which context(s) does the student think are important: cultural, historical or specific subject knowledge? Why?
Which background information source did the student use to find out more contextual information?
