  • Read a section first, then mark and underline it selectively;
  • Circle and/or box special vocabulary and transitions;
  • Number important or sequential ideas in the margins;
  • Underline information as if you were plagiarizing brief notes from which you could study;
  • Underline all definitions of terminology; Rules, Standards, Tests and Exceptions
  • Mark/label examples that represent main ideas;
  • Jot down paraphrases, questions, and summaries in available space within the text.
