IN THE LECTURE, WE REVIEWED THE READING PROCESS AND HOW WE CAN USE THIS PROCESS TO INCREASE OUR COMPREHENSION AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE'RE READING. THE READING PROCESS INVOLVES MANY ACTIVE READING STEPS, SUCH AS QUESTIONING, SURVEYING, TAKING NOTES, AND REFLECTING/RECALLING.

FOR YOUR INITIAL POST COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING:

* SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH A TIME WHEN YOU HAD TO READ SOME CHALLENGING MATERIAL. THIS MATERIAL COULD BE PERSONAL, OR ACADEMIC IN NATURE.

* EXPLAIN WHY YOU HAD TO READ THE MATERIAL AND WHAT MADE IT PARTICULARLY CHALLENGING.

*ALSO TELL WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THE READING WAS. FOR EXAMPLE, DID YOU EVENTUALLY GET THE INFORMATION YOU NEEDED TO GET OUT OF IT? DID YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR HELP OR CLARIFICATION? DID YOU MAKE A MISTAKE THAT AFFECTED THE OUTCOME OF THE SITUATION?

* AFTER SHARING THE OUTCOME, SHARE ONE SKILL YOU LEARNED ABOUT THROUGH LEARNING ABOUT THE READING PROCESS THAT WOULD HAVE IMPROVED YOUR OUTCOME IN THE SITUATION YOU SHARED.

IN YOUR REPLIES TO YOUR PEERS, YOU CAN ALSO SUGGEST STRATEGIES FROM THE LECTURE THAT WOULD HAVE HELPED THEM IN THEIR SITUATION AS WELL.
