To Do<\/h3>\r\nDoes your selected text include a chart, table, or graph?\r\n

OPTION A<\/h4>\r\nIf yes<\/strong>, write a paragraph that describes what you learn from reading this chart, table, or graph closely. \u00a0Why do you think the author(s) might have included this information in a visual form, rather than in sentence form in the body of the text?\r\n

OPTION B<\/h4>\r\nIf your selected text does not<\/strong> include a chart, table, or graph, you'll instead take this opportunity to practice the Cornell Method of Note-taking. \u00a0Review the Science Texts video (repeated below). \u00a0Apply the Cornell Method to one part of your selected reading. \u00a0Even if your selected text isn't a scientific essay, this method of note-taking is still useful to apply in many situations where you will need to remember the information later.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/YH0HhUtfWBA\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n

Reading Journal Component 3<\/h3>\r\n

\"Multiple Intelligences\" by Fred Mednick<\/h4>\r\n

Option A<\/p>\r\n

My reading selection does contain a table. It has two columns: one is \u201cMultiple Intelligences\u201d and the other is \u201cOverview.\u201d Each row defines a specific type of intelligence that Dr. Howard Gardner identified, and then gives a demonstration of what type of intelligence is and how it works.\u00a0I think a table is a nice way to convey this information, because it lets you see what all the types of intelligences are at a glance, and get a sense of how each one works. I get the feeling that it would be easy to consult that table again later, like if I had to study to prepare for a test on this subject.\u00a0There are 7 types of intelligences listed on this table. The rest of the article goes on to describe a few more types, and it would be nice if all of those appeared on the table, too, so that we could see them all in one place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>","rendered":"
