Some interesting ideas about reading....

"...the only things worth reading in an academic class are those things we do not understand.....when we are confused is actually a sign of increased comprehension....as readers we should welcome and embrace confusion.  Learning begins when we encounter confusion......expect confusion.....confusion is natural and necessary" (qtd. in Gallager 63).


"...we remember 70 percent of what we talk about with others...the act of collaboration itself raises the reading comprehension of every student" (Gallagher 17).


Invitation to meet:  July 23. 1:45 pm, Room West 13.  RSVP: tmcallister@fhps.net
