take out the reference to 7th grade as I think it could be used from 5th - 9th grade probably

Double check that some of the information given by the coaches are not better suited in the book's main
body. Keep in mind that any key point that's not in the book itself may be lost if it is printed in another
medium, or the coaches are ignored by readers. Conversely, sometimes the coach is saying exactly what is
in the slide, but that is not necessary because there is the text-read function for the book's content (that
could be highlighted with the coaches' introduction, e.g. pg 10). There are also a few grammatical errors
that need to be edited (incorrect tense, subject/verb agreement and spelling, mostly), so do a good proofread.

6. A few I noticed that might help you narrow it down are: pg. 21 should read and be punctuated this way "No
matter how well you learn, some things simply must be memorized.", "...memorizing, there are..." Pg20 -
Semicolon instead of comma in bullet 2, and use 'lose' not 'loose' - "...them; most students LOSE the
information quickly if THEY don't use it." Pg12 - keep verb consistency use "...or TALK while studying."
In the coach's text 'develop' is spelled incorrectly, and you "...develop good study habits" no 'a' is needed
before 'good'. pg9 - Teri should use 'Let's' not 'Lets', and a few commas are needed. pg2 - when introducing
Leo, is his text intentionally incorrect or is he supposed to say, "Hello/Heyloo, Leo will demonstrate to you
how to be a good note taker."

I really like the idea of having an interactive BookBuilder. Good luck on the rest of your project.

Some of these questions were hard to qualify and it would have been helpful to have a feedback option for
several of them. For example the coaches. Well you only used the coaches 5 times so I don't think they
were helpful as they needed to be used more. The pictures were good and the ones that referenced actual
strategies and forms were useful. Again rework the learning styles to possibly learning preferences related
to particular tasks. So if the task is memorization then here are strategies to help you and you can decide on
your preference for studying. if the task is to apply what you know then straight memorization will not help
but calls for a different kind of studying.

This is a great topic. The writing did seem a little squished together on some pages. I think it may be easier
to read if you skipped a few more lines (this was in the learning styles section). overall, i think it is great
and a great resource for the classroom!

I bet you are planning more graphics, but just in case it would be nice to have a graphic on the pages
without one!

Replace types of learners with more info. on study skills. Middle school may be too young to explain types
to.

General: I think you should change your title to include all middle school students. My eighth graders could
definitely benefit from this book!!! Page 2: You should make your Table of Contents title bigger and bold.
Page 4: nothing listed in the bulleted list. Page 6: The graphic is a little confusing…the part that is most
confusing is the arrow having to do with Decay. Page 9: How does the reader input on the calendar? Where
does the information come from besides the agent? Page 11: Took quiz!! I love it!!! Page 19: You may
want to re-write point 1. I got it after several readings but I think you need to do something with
punctuation. Page 22: Graphic with no text

7. I thought the book was a little dry
11/13/2011 2:05 PM
I think that the graphics in the book could be more appealing to the viewer. Also, you should use the
coaches more and when you do, don't put so much information for the viewer to read. I'm sure you
probably already know this, but some of the pages are missing a graphic and/or text. Other than those
suggestions, great job on presenting content that students need to know!

Great Job!!! I did see a few things, so don't think I'm being critical, I'm just a fresh pair of eyes. There
weren't sources annotated for the pictureson allot of the pages. Great use of external links on pages 11 & 23.
Consider rewriting the 2nd bullet on page 18; instead of loose, use lose; and instead of "you don't use it",
write "they don't use it". Page 19 had some grammatical and punctuation errors, consider rewriting. Great
job on the book, I can tell you guys put allot of work into it. Again, please don't think I'm being too picky,
I'm just a fresh pair of eyes.
