SKIMMING AND SCANNING

Assalamualaikum...

Today we had learned about skimming, scanning. Do you know about that? I don’t know actually until Miss Zu explained it to us.

‘Skimming’

 Skimming is the process of quickly identify the main ideas. There are a few tips for better skimming, which is read the document or report quickly, only the main point; read the first and the last paragraphs using headings, summaries, read the headings, sub-headings and illustrations, when seeking a specific information, consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph, and take note of any italicized or boldfaced word or phrases. Skimming works well for finding dates as well as names of people and places. It is also useful for reviewing graphs, tables and charts.

‘Scanning’

Scanning is a reading skill used to find specific information quickly. There are a few tips for better scanning which is look for the author’s use of organizers such as numbers, letters, steps or sequence such as first, second or next; selectively read and skip through sections of the passage; use headings any other aids that will help you identify which section might contain the information you are looking for. Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you are looking for. Look for words that are boldfaced, italicized or in a different font size, style or color.  Do not read everything in detail, look for key words or concentrate on certain parts during examination!.

INTRODUCTION ESSAY

Assalamualaikum...

Today Miss Zu taught us to write an introduction for essay. First she explained about 'The Hook'. Then, 'The Transition'. Lastly 'Thesis Statement'.

'The Hook'

The hook is the beginning when we write an introduction that phrase used to attract people to read the essay.

'The Transition'

The transition is the phrase that use to connect the hook and the thesis statement.

'Thesis Statement'

Thesis statement, we must write the main idea for the topic to make readers know what is the essay talking about.

There are seven kind of hook such as personal example, quotations, facts, rhetorical, question, current events, and definition.

After Miss Zu finished, she wants us to choose our group. Aiman Danial and Haziq Fidaiy were my group members. Miss Zu gives us a title which was 'GENDER'. So, we must wrote an introduction using the title. Our group must write fact essay about that..
