Scholar Skills Workshop Assignment for September 2010

Ok, to be ready for our first class:

Read Part 1 (p.1-53) from Well Educated Mind and do the following:

  • Think and write about how you can apply these study techniques to the classics you are reading?
  • Think and write about how we can apply these ideas to our study group in Scholar School as we read the classics
  • Follow each step outlined in Well Educated Mind (steps are found at the end of each chapter in Part 1). Establish a study plan/routine/system for yourself and prepare your materials (Scholar Journal, notebook for writing summaries, we'll get the papers for your timeline in class but get a 3 ring binder prepared just for them, your books together and organized for this class, etc). Come prepared to share with others your plan/routine/system for study that you figured/planned out.
  • Practice studying as explained in Part 1 as you read Beowulf and the history chapters for Classic Intensives. If you're not in Classic Intensives, do that for the classic/history/books you are reading.
