Part One: Discussion

With a partner or group, discuss the following:

  1. "The difference between passive reading and active reading is like the difference between watching a nature documentary and hiking through the wilderness." What does this quote mean to you?
  2. What is "active reading"?

Part Two: Taking Notes

Exercise

You are going to hear a short lecture on a method of active reading known as SQ5R. As you listen, take notes. When you have finished, compare the notes in pairs or groups.
