Well, I see you've got your books, George. But are you reading? Looks like you're just coloring.
I'm marking the important parts of the book. The colors are for different things.
Like what?
Main ideas are yellow. Important details to remember are pink and the light green is for difficult ideas.
This seems like a lot of activities. Aren't you wasting your time?
I don't think so, mom. I'll read it all tonight. I'll listen to it tomorrow. And then when it's time to study, I will already know most of the information.
In my day, we just read the book and tried to remember the information.
The teacher told us the importance of active reading. And it's the best way to learn at whatever speed you choose.
I see. And what's this notebook for?
That's for taking notes. What kind of things do you write down?
