MODULE 2THE GIST PROCEDURE• GIST = Generating Interactions Between Schemata and

Text

• GIST also called as main ideas of paragraphs

• One approach to summarizing a text

• Summarizing requires focus on the main ideas of a text and decide what is important without omitting key ideas

• Main idea can be found in first sentence usually but not always, sometimes it will appear in the middle or even in the last of paragraph

• Main idea same as topic sentence

LOCATION OF TOPIC SENTENCE

EXAMPLE

The term “color blind” is a bit misleading because its extremely rare for a person to be unable to see any colors. People who are called color blind can see color …

What does the paragraph tell about

• Type of eye• Color vision deficiency• Color blind• Retina of the eye

GET THE GIST• Preview the text by

looking at headings, subheading, pictures, etc

• Then read the selection carefully

• Highlight the who, what, when, where, why and how on the text

• Write a 20 word ‘gist’ summary using the information you have highlighted

THE “GET THE GIST” STRATEGY

Follow the steps!

• Scan the page/section• Read the paragraph• Who or what is the paragraph mostly about?

This paragraph is mainly about …..• What important pieces of information are linked to the ‘who’ or

‘what’?• Put together the answer above and tell the main idea in 10

words or less!

MODULE 3DETAILED READING FOR EXTRACTING INFORMATION ACCURATELY

• Where you read every word, and work to learn from the text

• In this careful reading, you may find it helpful to skim first, to get a general idea, but then go back to read in detail. Use a dictionary to make sure you understand all the words used

READING FOR DETAILED INFORMATION

• Read the detail information of the text carefully

• Confirm whether the information is present on the text or not

• Concentrate on the specific word

• Do not spend too much time on reading the whole text

USEFUL TIPS

Underlining and highlighting

• Helpful to find information vastly based on the text• Use colors to highlight different aspects

Note key words

• Write down key point in the paragraph

Questions

• Read question first before read the text

Summaries

• If its needed

BUT, AND, OR, SOIts function to connect two different clause into one single sentence

But

• Andrew is rich, Andrew live in simple house• Andrew is rich but Andrew live in simple house

And

• Herman was tired, he was hungry• Herman was tired and he was hungry

Or

So

• Anette did not sleep, she is very sleepy• Anette did not sleep so she is very sleepy

• Skimming = reading fast and efficiently

SKIMMING STRATEGIES• Find main idea of each paragraph

• Figure out the suitable title for the text

• Determine content of the text based on title, first paragraph and the last paragraph

Skimming works well to find dates, names, and places. It also might be used to review graphs, tables, and charts.

EXAMPLE 2Everyone wants to be beautiful, but what is it about a person that really makes her beautiful? The truth is that it’s not any one thing. Beauty is a combination of many qualities that give pleasure to the senses or mind. Your personality, sense of humor, and compassion for others are a large part of what makes you beautiful. The secret to being beautiful is feeling beautiful. It is more about inner qualities than physical appearance. You may not love all of your quality but if you see yourself as a strong person with many goals and talents, you will begin to feel more comfortable with yourself. Feel good about yourself and let your positive attitude shine.
