1. Be open to new ideas...
2. ALIGN WITH AND ACCEPT an opportunity when it presents itself.
3. Balance your head and your heart to see if it's what your truly want. (Are you willing to "give up your time and your peace and you sleep for it?")
4. Think about what you already know about the subject. (SEARCH YOUR SCHEMA)
5. "FILL IN THE GAPS" What you don't know...FIND OUT!
6.

Plan with FULL CONSCIOUSNESS...
Raise my awareness of thoughts as they permeate consciousness within context in order to hold, retain, organize, and apply them in a precise, effective delivery. (hold thoughts until they will be needed later where their effectiveness will be unleashed.)

Integrate History and applied literacy...
Sequence leads to timelines
Sequence leads to plot
Plot = what happens in a story
Timeline = events that took place
Plots and timelines can be connected and related
Similar reading concepts such as these also appear within social studies/history lessons. These are what good thinkers do. Readers are thinkers. Writers are thinkers. Historians are thinkers. Scientists are thinkers.
SEQUENCE, TIMELINES, CAUSE/EFFECT, THEME, CHARACTERS, MAIN EVENTS/MINOR DETAILS, SIMILARITIES/DIFFERENCES, SETTINGS/LOCATIONS, SUMMARIZING/PARAPHRASING, INQUIRY/QUESTIONING, DRAWING CONCLUSIONS, MAKING CONNECTIONS
