Gilmore 4

The three categories of activity I really found helpful in the begining, starting off the chapter with how he picks and chooses techniques and where they fall. I found this chapter extremely helpful because of the LIST of revision strategies that he uses, the descriptions, what they do, why they work and such. I really liked a lot of the strategies and could definetly see myself looking back to this chapter to imitate a strategy in one of my own classes.

While Christensen and the others we have read have had really good ideas of what to do in classes, and I would use a lot of their ideas in my classes also, they don't do it in this format. A name of a chapter of what its on, and then a LIST, each activity in bold, of how do, for example revise. Instead of having to make all these pages up with post its and other such things (highlighters and pens are hard to come back to and find exactly obviously), you can just go back to the chapter and quickly find what you are looking for, and use it in class intead of reading all night the chapter you remember the activity was in, and then not having any time at all for other things.
