Handout Task

Combination Task:

- Identifying handouts

- Reading a written source and extracting information

- Obtaining information from a handout

When reading this handout I will skim and scan read the text with concentration. I will also label and highlight particular words and phrases that are relevant and expand on them.I will look for particular subheadings/titles and try to extract information from that point that relates to my relevant topic. 

In my given handout, I have highlighted key headings that give explanations and examples as to what abuse cannot be caused by and the main reasons as to why domestic abuse occurs. 

Reading effectively

 - Read where friends, music, noise etc. will not be distracting.
 - Read when you are alert.
 - Limit reading sessions to realistic amounts of time/pages.
 - Switch back and forth from reading to other study activities or tasks.
 - Preview the text before reading so you can prepare yourself.
 - Turn chapter headings/subheadings into questions. Then search for answers. 
 - Mark text information that answers the questions. Be an active reader.
 - Pause frequently to summarize/restate ideas. Use your own words.
 - Have specific questions about a topic.
 - Have a set of reading goals; take notes to help you understand in case you want to refer    back to them.
 - Identify your reading objectives. It will be more useful to have some understanding of          what you are looking for and what you want to find.
 - Search for bolded terms. This can help you identify key information. 
 - Have a dictionary nearby. You will be able to define any words you are unsure of and          you can then make notes.

Evaluation on Annotation

Evaluate how different annotation techniques worked with differing degrees of effectiveness for extracting different sorts of information.

Annotation process:

1.      Highlighting

2.      Underlining

3.      Labeling

Highlighting is effective when you need to pick out specific words or phrases in a passage that are relevant to you.

Underlining is beneficial when you identify key words that relate to the subject you are finding information for.

Labeling is useful when you want to make notes on certain words and expand on its meaning by adding extra information and linking it to your relevant subject.
