Study Notes
Reading Skills for Grade 11
-
Active Reading Strategies: Preview texts by skimming headings and predicting content; annotate by underlining key points, adding notes, and posing questions; summarize main ideas in your own words; infer implied meanings; use context clues to define unfamiliar words.
-
Reading Comprehension Levels: Literal comprehension focuses on understanding facts and details; inferential comprehension involves drawing conclusions; critical comprehension evaluates arguments and potential biases.
-
Text Structures: Recognize narrative (stories), descriptive (sensory details), expository (explanations), and persuasive (opinions) text structures.
Writing Skills for Grade 11
-
The Writing Process: Pre-writing (brainstorming, research, outlining); drafting (first version without concern for perfection); revising (improving content, organization, and clarity); editing (correcting grammar, punctuation, and spelling); and publishing (final version for submission).
-
Types of Writing: Descriptive writing evokes sensory details; narrative writing tells a story; expository writing explains or informs; argumentative/persuasive writing presents opinions with supporting evidence.
-
Writing Techniques: Maintain coherence (logical flow of ideas) and cohesion (using transitions); write concisely; use varied sentence structures (simple, compound, complex);
-
Common Writing Errors: Avoid run-on sentences (combining too many ideas in one sentence); ensure every sentence has a subject and verb (avoid sentence fragments); ensure subject-verb agreement (e.g., "He writes," not "He write"); and maintain pronoun-antecedent agreement (pronouns match their nouns).
