Gathering Information from External Web Pages

Whenever there is a reading assignment linked to an external web page, there will be either a WebQuest to direct the reading or a list of questions and topics that you should know after reading the external site link.

You should use both SQ3R and Cornel notes as you read external web pages, exactly as you should do with Mr. Walrath's web pages. When readings are assigned in Mr. Walrath's classes, they are designed to help you understand and learn the topic being presented. As a reminder:

1. Survey: scan the readings, looking for summaries, outlines, main points, etc. Make these the left-hand column notes.
2. Question: write questions from that information. Try to second guess Mr. Walrath's quiz or test questions. Add these to the left-hand column notes.
3. Read: in-depth. Take notes! Fill in the details on the right-hand column on your note paper.
4. Recite: This might also be called Retell... say the key material and points, out loud! You might want to write this at the bottom of your notes page as your summary as well.
5. Review: A day after you did the SQRR, review and see how much you can recide without your notes. If it's nothing, go back to the readings themselves and do your SQ3R again.

You still need to write a short summary at the bottom of the page, and again for all classes, Mr. Walrath's reading summary policy applies. Visit this link to review it.
