It may mean a quick Google search or something that was noted earlier. Calling it out can be a reminder. https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2488014 https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2488014 Sun, 13 Jun 2021 17:35:31 -0400 Yes! The summary/transitional sentences can give a lot of clues. Plus, it's a check for us as we are reading -- did the writer give us what they said they would? https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2488013 https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2488013 Sun, 13 Jun 2021 17:34:22 -0400 I look for shifts in ideas or words that denote the idea is continuing. This is a great way to take a moment and get ready for the new idea. When I take notes, I highlight these words to remind me of the new idea. https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2488012 https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2488012 Sun, 13 Jun 2021 17:33:25 -0400 I highlight author names so I can check the references and/or see what else they have written. A quick search can sometimes give me a better foundation for their ideas. https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2488011 https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2488011 Sun, 13 Jun 2021 17:32:04 -0400 One thing I try to do after reviewing headers to to look at the first sentence of each paragraph. Usually this is a topic sentence and can give me the main idea. It's also a good check once I have read the paragraph to see what questions I have. https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2488010 https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2488010 Sun, 13 Jun 2021 17:30:53 -0400
