The teacher elicits student questions stemming from their interests, curiosities, or unanswered questions about the concept. As they are reading, additional questions might be added to this column and answered as a group. Step L2 - Mapping. Students refer to the K step to categorize what they learned. Students select and relate important information by using the title of the passage as the center of the map and the categories as the major branches with the explanatory concepts detailed under these major branches.
Students refer to the map to create exam or study questions.
Step L3 - Summarizing. Students number the concepts on the map based upon the order of points they choose to make in their summary. They write summaries using the numbers adding enough details to explain each concept. The summaries become a useful summative evaluation for the teacher and student as they evaluate their comprehending. Certified teachers can implement the strategy from the descriptive overview provided here.
