Pre-learning • Let your brain know what you will be learning about (warm up and prepare your brain before you start to exercise it): • Skim through the section • Scan for specific information • Predict what you will be learning about Downloaded from hlayiso.com English FAL NQF Level 2

During learning • Read intensively and with understanding. • As you read, make a mind map of the topic and main ideas of the section of work you are learning. • Follow the procedure for mind mapping that you learnt this year. • To extract the main ideas while you read, turn the headings into questions.

During learning Remember! • Reading through notes or a textbook without doing anything else does not equal learning. • Reading and mind mapping at the same time makes you an active learner. • Creating and revising thorough, well-designed mind maps ensures that what you learn is stored in your long-term memory. • Keep your mind maps neatly arranged in a file so that you can revise the information later.
