Situation: Reading peers' papers for graduate course
Metacognitive Strategies: I set a goal of whose papers I wanted to read. It was supposed to be a random selection process based on a variation of the game "Musical Chairs." I simply moved around and around the spot where the desired paper was located. When the music stopped, I was where I wanted to be.
Task-Based Strategies: We were told to skim the papers. So I read the first sentence; a few middle sentences if the topic was interesting; and the last sentences of each paragraph. I also looked for words that jumped out at me as I was skimming (selective attention). I personalized my peers' papers by making connections to my own experiences, knowledge and feelings.
