Editor's Notes

  1. Learn vocabulary, etc.; learn to evaluate what read and hear; learn self-control; learn to work with others; learn to access and select info
  2. OVERGENERALIZATION: going from a general case to specific
  3. Students bring this for accountability.
  4. With students with better English skills, these can be extended.
