Problem: How to get people to read in a way that forces them
to interact with the text.
Work study
questions into texts. Include intro material.
They are
more likely to homework if it involves exercises. “read this” doesn’t register
as a real assignment.
He’s got four or five people using his text. Several
versions with different mixes.
Use fill in the blanks for arguments reconstructed from
paragraphs of the original text.
Rebuild a paragraph exercise. Take an 11 sentence paragraph
from Descartes. Put each sentence on an index card. Shuffle them. Have the
students try to reconstruct the original order.
Andrew Mills: Don’t grade them on the first read exercise,
but make the first read exercise a part of larger exercise that they are graded
on.
