A summary of an entire textbook chapter or
article |
|
Constructed by identifying the “questions” that
the content “answers” |
|
With the focus on the content’s main points |
|
|
|
|
All written, expository material can be regarded
as answers to implicit questions |
|
Identifying these questions and linking them to
the “answers” helps in under-standing and recalling the information |
|
And also serves as a study guide |
|
|
|
|
About 20-25 questions and brief answers (incl
page number locations) |
|
That span the entire chapter or article |
|
Typed on two pages (single-spaced, 10-point
font, no blank lines) |
|
|
|
|
All end in question marks |
|
Cannot be answered YES/NO |
|
All cover main points |
|
Consecutively numbered |
|
With brief answers (and page number locations) |

sections or subsections of text |
|

Primarily write Reflection questions |
|
|
|
|
Questions whose answers summarize paragraphs |

list |
|
|
|
|
Questions whose answers are related to but go
beyond information in text |
|
Look like essay questions on a test |
|
Typically constructed by requiring one to
explain, apply, compare, or critique ideas in text |
|

|
|
|

2 per chapter or article (out of the 20-25)
