Student Pathway

Planning occurs when you begin a learning task.  For example, you might be asked to read some text and learn from it.   Before reading you can ask yourself questions like the following:

"What am I supposed to learn?

What prior knowledge will help me with this task?

What should I do first?

What should I look for in this reading?

How much time do I have to complete this?

In what direction do I want my thinking to take me?"
