If the title was enough to grab you it will be necessary to dig a little to find inferences to sex, but they are there.\u00a0 Happy reading! I think Jason put this book on our list to give us all practice at skimming.\u00a0 I read or didn\u2019t read, or forgot I read this text wondering how on earth I was going to be able to post anything near the 1000 word requirement on a book that made me want to scratch my eyes out.\u00a0 I struggled and searched to find valuable insights that may help me on this journey of doctoral studies and discovered that according to this text I need to do the following:\u00a0 1. Keep my place of study well lit and ventilated.\u00a0 2. It shouldn\u2019t be either too hot or too cold.\u00a0 3. I\u2019ll need a flat surface like a desk or a table to lay out my books, paper and computer. 4. I\u2019ll need an appropriate chair so I can work at my flat surface. 5. Finally, I\u2019ll need a place where I won\u2019t be disturbed by other people.1<\/p>\n
This is a discussion I have with my freshmen students during the 1st week of class and then never address it again.\u00a0 There had to be something else or I would struggle even to get to 250 words.\u00a0 {For the record and to take up more words\u2026\u2026I sit at a desk (flat surface except when cluttered) in my bedroom (nice temperature and environment, not even the dog is allowed in my bedroom) so that when I\u2019m studying late at night I\u2019m still near my beloved (sometimes a distraction depending on what she wears to bed).\u00a0 It is below a window (good light & ventilation) and I have a desk lamp (not too bright so I don\u2019t keep her awake….at least by studying) and a strong set of reading glasses (required now because of age and nasty Hebrew study). That little parenthetical sidebar utilized 110 words!}<\/p>\n
SQ3R is useful but not revelatory and something I have been teaching and using with undergraduate students for several years.\u00a0 The instruction regarding pursuit of main ideas found in a text was also useful but seemed repetitive and similar in nature to much of the past 2 texts.\u00a0 So, I did Survey (‘S’) the entire text as much as possible on my Kindle for Mac. \u00a0For ‘Q’ the biggest question I came up with was; \u201cWhy am I reading this?\u201d I made an attempt at \u2018deep\u2019 reading and found a little more useful material in being reminded to be alert to the main ideas found throughout the text, both large ideas uncovered in a chapter and smaller thoughts evident in individual paragraphs or sections.\u00a0 I guess it\u2019s possible that I could Review and Recall the book if I only remembered having read it.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, I will endeavor to straighten my workspace to ensure a flat surface, maintain sufficient lighting and keep my reading glasses handy. \u00a0I will also try with all my might not to be distracted by the sleeping beauty lying five feet from my desk chair. Not much chance of that though. I am ever hopeful that \u2018Visual Ethnography\u2019 will offer greater usable material, at least to complete the upcoming assignment.<\/p>\n
