B. Motivation

(the teacher will ask questions)

have you ever experienced cramming

approaching?

What do you usually do when you cram?

I hurriedly open my notes and
review ma’am
That’s right.
When there’s no more time for you to
review what you do is you scan your
notes. You only search for the important
terms and disregard other information
which you think is not relevant.

And today, we will tackle scanning and

the correct ways to do it.

Everyone, please pay your attention to the
screen.

What can you see?

time, amounts and prices?

Very good.
You can also look for symbols like a peso
or a dollar sign.
We should look for numbers
ma’am.
Take note also of the punctuation - words
inside quotations, commas dashes and
parentheses when scanning for details.

For example you were asked “what did

the doctor said to his patients?”, what
should you look for?

Very good. In a text, statements which

are said by someone is usually placed
inside a quotation mark. So quotation
mark will be your clue.

mark.
