Reading Activity 7/2/08
I found the reading activity this morning quite helpful. Combining discussion of the text (in a small group) and having a specific task to complete (which helped me focus on the main ideas of the text) made me dig for meaning more deeply than I do alone. This is an interesting way to glean meaning from an unfamiliar or "unfriendly" text (no offense Peter). It is also time consuming. These kinds of activities make me realize how much time scholars must devote to understading their field.

I agree, Patti. I found it very helpful to have specific things to look for as I read. It helped focus me and get me digging for the message. It is time consuming but very beneficial, and I think our kids need this stuff.
