Reading Questions

 

Answer the following.  Keep the following in mind as you answer these questions and all future study questions for me.

Ø      You don’t need complete sentences if it is easier to make lists or use phrases.  Bullet points are a useful tool.

Ø      Include enough information so that you demonstrate that you understand the major points, but don’t go overboard making your life an utter misery. 

Ø      Think of this as a guided outline of the reading with my questions helping you focus on what is important.

Ø      Keep an eye on the Identification items.  As one of them is mentioned in the book, make sure you learn it.

Ø      If a question has two parts, answer both parts. (Duh!)

Ø      Just because I don’t have a comprehension question on a topic in the book does NOT mean that that topic is unimportant.  Instead, I’m expecting you to make margin notes in your book as you read.  I find that making summarizing comments in the margin is a much more effective note-taking technique than simply highlighting.

Ø      This must be typed. (I strongly recommend that you save the file on your computer.  It will be much easier to study for the AP exam months from now if you can clearly read what you have written.  Also, if you lose your homework, you can always print it out again.)

Ø      I have posted this Study Guide on my website.  Feel free to copy the questions into a Word document and use that to answer the questions.

Ø      I will periodically be checking your answers in class for a homework grade.  You won’t know when I’m going to be checking, so be sure to always have your homework for the entire unit with you until that unit is finished.
