How to Read Your Textbook: SQ3R Method

Before you read, survey the chapters:

Title, headings, subheadings

Captions under pictures, charts, graphs, maps

Review questions and study guides

Read introductory and concluding paragraphs

Read summaries

Questions while you are surveying:

Turn titles, headings, and subheadings into questions

Read questions at the end of the chapters or after each subheading

Ask yourself, “what did my instructor say about this chapter or subject when it was assigned?”

Ask yourself, “what do I already know about this subject/chapter?”

When you begin to read:

Look for answers to the questions you raised in the previous steps

Answer questions at the beginning or end of chapters or study guides

Reread captions under pictures, graphs, charts, and maps

Note all the underlined, italicized, and bold printed words or phrases

Study graphic aids (maps, charts, graphs, pictures, etc.)

Reduce your reading speed for difficult passages

Stop and reread parts that are unclear or confusing

Read only a section at a time and recite after each section (how to recite below)

Recite after you’ve read a section:

Ask yourself questions out loud about what you have just read, or summarize (in your own words) what you read

Take notes from the text but write the information in your own words

Underline or highlight important points you’ve just read

Reciting: the more of your sense you use, the more likely you are to remember what you read

seeing = reading, saying = asking questions or summarizing aloud, hearing = you answering your questions aloud

Review:

Reviewing is an ongoing process

80% of information is lost within 24 hours, but if you continue to review you will remember more for class or for test day

Again I don’t take credit for this post. All of the above information is from a handout I picked up from my adviser’s office.

Quick Tips for Writing Interesting Villains

Give them relationships with other characters. Being a villain doesn’t mean they’re isolated

Give them their own set of morals

Give them something to care about

Consider the reasons why they want to hurt the protagonist

Remember that they are human

Don’t make them evil for the sake of being evil

Keep in mind that a villain doesn’t have to do every horrible thing imaginable

Not every villain was abused. Someone who was spoiled is just as, if not more, likely to lack empathy than someone who was abused

Consider how they rationalize their behavior (blame their victims, make excuses, believe that what they’re doing is right) if you need a reference for this kind of behavior, look at how Trump defends the horrible things he does

Give them a life outside of being a villain. Maybe your protagonist is going shopping and they run into their villain and the villain isn’t interested or up for a fight that day. This really depends on the story, though

Give them a past, present, or future relationship with the protagonist. Again, this depends on the story

Consider making your villain likable

Give the reader a reason to sympathize with them

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

first aid kit

 sunscreen

 a travel alarm clock or watch

 mylar emergency blanket

 a backpack is a must

 downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

 sleeping bag

 travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

 swiss army knife

 can opener
