In this video, Frank goes over ways to effectively read college textbooks and other reading materials. Going over such tips as how long to read for or what to try and remember from reading, he provides many ways to improve reading habits. It is partially for these reasons that I chose this video as my first. I also thought it would be helpful in that I have a college English class in which we do quite a bit of reading. Although I feel as though my current reading habits are alright, I do think that any help with analyzing texts and remembering information would be very useful.]]> 2017-09-30 15:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/wilmcal8/lcboyc46u189/wish/192683589 wilmcal8 https://padlet.com/wilmcal8/lcboyc46u189/wish/192684029 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmDMrxUSXKY&index=2&list=PLx65qkgCWNJLglnT9x2R3Kn02NQgthgJ9

Like the previous video, this one covers the topic of reading materials for school and college classes. However, this particular video covers not only the topic of reading quickly, but doing so while reading well. Furthermore, Frank offers multiple tactics for improving the rate at which one can read. I chose this video as, while I am able to read well, I often do so without picking up all the information within a text.

The third and final video I chose is similar to the first in that it provides different strategies for active reading. Here, Frank also puts forth the idea of Pseudo-Skimming, the process of skimming most paragraphs while looking for and reading only the most essential ones. These tips are applicable to normal readings and college textbooks alike, both of which I have assigned in my classes. For this reason, I chose this for my third video.]]> 2017-09-30 15:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/wilmcal8/lcboyc46u189/wish/192684737 wilmcal8 https://padlet.com/wilmcal8/lcboyc46u189/wish/192685457 https://www.studyright.net/blog/4-steps-to-reading-a-textbook-quickly-and-effectively/

The above article was written on four ways to more effectively read college texts and textbooks. These methods all loosely correspond to what was talked about in the three videos I chose, bit are all still relevant to the overall topic.]]> 2017-09-30 15:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wilmcal8/lcboyc46u189/wish/192685457 wilmcal8 https://padlet.com/wilmcal8/lcboyc46u189/wish/192685709 https://www.cornellcollege.edu/academic-support-and-advising/study-tips/reading-textbooks.shtml

This article provides a single method to reading textbooks - dubbed the "P2R" method - which involves reading three separate steps. While relevant, this seems to go against what was said in the chosen videos.]]> 2017-09-30 15:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/wilmcal8/lcboyc46u189/wish/192685709
