READING!!

TART

This week for the reading stratgey I put all of the strategies we have learned together in TART. This is a great strategy
for term heavy classes like my HTW 318 and WGS 203 classes. It's is also great
for kinethetic learners like me because it allows you go get active while taking
and studying your notes. This is also a great strategy for visual learners.

All that you need to do for this is T, go over your terms before class from the
textbook and pull out terms you find important. In both of these two classes I
pulled out the bold words in the chapter for this week and wrote them out. Next
I did A which was simply attending class. In class took careful notes and
highlighted the words I read about before. Next was R which was reading after
class. This is where I used my plug in note strategy and re read my notes while
typing them into the computer. The next step is T which is test and what I did
to review for the tests I had in these classes was make test questions and study
guides. These were great to use because it gave me an idea of questions that
might be on the test.

When studying for a class it is hard to determine which terms are more important than others and sometimes hard to memorize them. TART helps with this because it sets the words aside to start with and then lets you pay attention and listen for them in class. If there was a term that I had not read in the textbook ahead of time, when I heard it in class it would not be of importance to me. With TART I know which terms are highlighted in the textbook as well.

This strategy can really work in any class. In a math class you can do this with
equations or a science or history class with key words.

I think this is a great method to help you take notes and review and study
before tests.
