Read the section at three to four times your normal rate.

Note the main ideas in the abstract section of the bibliographic entry card.

Check all glossaries, appendixes, and other information in the end matter of the book.Slide12

Activity 4. Mapping Your Materials Slide13

Core Idea Map

The core idea, or descriptor, is in the center and serves as the central idea.

Each of the categories or parts of the core idea should be sketched as a supporting idea.

These parts can be theoretical positions, definitions, or descriptive categories.

Various arrangements are possible, such as type, theme, or chronology, depending on the particular research question.

Break down each of the subsidiary ideas into individual categories, such as research studies, theories, definitions, or examples. Slide14
