to successfully read a textbook chapter let's talk about the very last one

analyzing after you've read. Once you've taken the time to really intensely

engage with that reading of that textbook chapter and you're all done

it's really good to just take five minutes to think about critically

whatever I read

and what new ideas are interpretations do I have about that concept

you can think about what questions do I still have that maybe I wanna bring to

the classroom and ask my professor

and at the end of every textbook chapter there's usually a few pages that's the

chapter review

you could actually write some notes on that page before you read the chapter

review that says hey these are the new ideas I have and these are the questions

I have and then compare it to what the author has said

or you could kinda throw it out there into the world and talk to someone at

dinner

or in the next class your in

if you have a Twitter account tweet out something big that you've learned

from that chapter or put it on Facebook or even if you have a blog you could

blog about it

but in some way just take a little bit a time to think

what I learned from reading this how my changed and how my new person

so thanks for listening and good luck with all your textbooks
