Skill 3.5 Making Sense of Text: In Your Own Way

This activity, produced by Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme, challenges students to read a piece of text and then represent it in the way that best helps them to remember it. In doing so, students are encouraged to: * locate the themes and keywords within an article * summarise the key pieces of information * make judgements about the value of an article. They could draw a picture, flow chart or spider diagram for instance. This may help them to understand and learn the content more effectively than if they simply read through the text.
