Unit 8. Skimming and Scanning

The Topic: Skimming and Scanning

Skimming

Skimming is used to quickly identify the main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper, you're probably not reading it word-by-word, instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Use skimming when you want to see if an article may be of interest in your research.
    
There are many strategies that can be used when skimming. Some people read the first and last paragraphs using headings, summarizes and other organizers as they move down the page or screen. You might read the title, subtitles, subheading, and illustrations. Consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph. This technique is useful when you're seeking specific information rather than reading for comprehension. Skimming works well to find dates, names, and places. It might be used
to review graphs, tables, and charts.

How to Skim:

* Read the title.
* Read the introduction or the first paragraph.
* Read the first sentence of every other paragraph.
* Read any headings and sub-headings.
* Notice any pictures, charts, or graphs.
* Notice any italicized or boldface words or phrases.
* Read the summary or last paragraph.

Scanning

Scanning is a technique you often use when looking up a word in the telephone book or dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In most cases, you know what you're looking for, so you're concentrating on finding a particular answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a resource to determine whether it will answer your questions. Once you've scanned the document, you might go back and skim it.
    
When scanning, look for the author's use of organizers such as numbers, letters, steps, or the words, first, second, or next. Look for words that are bold faced, italics, or in a different font size, style, or color. Sometimes the author will put key ideas in the margin.

How to Scan:

* State the specific information you are looking for.
* Try to anticipate how the answer will appear and what clues you might use to help you locate the answer. For example, if you were looking for a certain date, you would quickly read the paragraph looking only for numbers.
* Use headings and any other aids that will help you identify which sections might contain the information you are looking for.
* Selectively read and skip through sections of the passage.

[07:50] imraff: hey jenne! Since when are you in SL? @Jenne
[07:50] papitasyhelado: What do you like most about SL? @Jenne
[07:51] Nushita: well @jenne the avatar you are using now is the same one from the beginning? or has it changed too much?
[07:51] Jenne Dibou: hello Imraff, i am here in SL since 2007, and i built my first cube around april of 2007.
[07:52] Jenne Dibou: papi: i like the most, it's always changing, always something new things coming, and i can learn non-stop tinkering around^^
[07:53] Jenne Dibou: Nush: my avatar changed a lot, yes. first i was blonde, but then i decided follow my RL appearance, and i the last few years i worked on it. now matches about 75%:)
[07:53] nahirnmlsum25: how much time do you spend on SL on a regular day? "@jenne
[07:53] papitasyhelado: Do you think people can find, a job, education, love and friendship in a virtual place like SL? @Jenne
[07:54] imraff: Who invite you? or how you decided to start on this game? @Jenne
[07:54] Jenne Dibou: nahir: in 2007-2008-2009 about 14-16 hours a day. and from 2010 it reduced to cc. 6-8 hours
[07:54] nahirnmlsum25: OMG
[07:54] papitasyhelado: O M G
[07:54] Nushita: wooow
[07:55] imraff: i prefer typed
[07:55] Jenne Dibou: ok, i keep here
[07:55] OneHornMolly: @Jenne, Do you work with other 3D programs or any other designing programs?
[07:56] Jenne Dibou: so for papi: yes, i believe, SL can be a base of a nice life. certainly it must be connected somehow into RL, but yes, here can be found anything from job to relationship, etc.
[07:57] Jenne Dibou: imraff: i read about SL in a hungarian website as an interesting mmoRpg. so i gave it a shot. and i learned, the news were wrong: SL is not a game. its a second life.
[07:57] Cerealbx: @Jenne why do you select second life? Why not another 3D game online like IMVU?
[07:58] papitasyhelado: If you designed an environment in SL, how would it be like? @Jenna
[07:58] Jenne Dibou: One: i usually work with maya. this is the first i learned, but i tried almost all of them. i am always seeking for the best pipeline for SL and it changes. depends on the job, and the version of SL viewer
[07:58] Marianac16: @Jenne, Have you tried to do 3D designs in other places besides Second Life?
[07:59] Jenne Dibou: Cereal: i tried one another world, that already closed... forgot the name, other creators moved there to try it. but i think any other virtual world is so nice complex as SL. and well.... i know mostly only this one ^^
[08:00] sosirena: What inspires you to design?@jenne
[08:00] Jenne Dibou: papi again about the enviroment: its always abandoned, and ruined a bit, but still can be seen, it was fancy once a long time ago
[08:01] imraff: do you work alone? or you have a group work?
[08:01] imraff: @jenne
[08:01] Jenne Dibou: Marian: yes, i worked in some other small projects, but i made only mesh models, nothing more. actually i dont like model too much on the computer, i prefer clay, water and dirt^^
[08:02] Jenne Dibou: sosi: my inspirations coming from everywhere. any kind of art, or any part of life. i just got impulses, and it mirrors back in my creations.
[08:03] nahirnmlsum25: what do you do specifically? in what area are you really good at? Or waht area do like the most?
[08:03] Jenne Dibou: imraff: i make my models alone, but i can not script. i am too dumb for that, i have a partner: Mandy Marseille, she makes all my scripts and sounds.
[08:04] OneHornMolly: @Jenne- Are you an afficionado, or, did you study some sort of Design school?
[08:04] Jenne Dibou: nahir: i like to rest a lot, and enjoy the life:) and i think, i am not really good in 3d, its just a luck, that my feelings can come through my works.
[08:06] imraff: On your country, is well known SL? Is something famous, do you know people from your country?
[08:06] Jenne Dibou: One: i studied as 2d designer and a window-dresser. also studied art of history at the university, but i never finished that. found too boring :)
[08:07] Jenne Dibou: imraff: in my country people think about SL as a game. mostly young people playing it as rpg, a 3d facebook. however, i met already some artists from hungary, but they are working induvidual, like me.
[08:08] Pionia Destiny: jenne we'd like to go to forgotten city with you...
[08:07] Pionia Destiny: would you take us for a short stroll?
[08:07] Pionia Destiny: please select the place you would like to show us...
[08:07] Pionia Destiny: and tp us there... some of my students haven't been there yet
[08:08] Jenne Dibou: and also one of the hungarian universitates trying to make a land here, a school, but they are too low quality imho :(
[08:09] imraff: @Jenne What do you think about our appearance? which avatar took your attention since you're here? who's the most funny? who do you think is the most sexy hehehe? Talk us about that ;)
[08:09] Jenne Dibou: ok, we should go to our land, so i answer this last question

[08:28] Jenne Dibou: maybe even a bit too much, but we were pretty busy in the last 5 years^^
[08:28] IceCreamL: *0*! woah ♥
[08:29] imraff: wow, that is a hard work!
[08:29] Jenne Dibou: it was mostly fun, not a work.
[08:30] imraff: do you inspire on some enviroments to create the places? @Jenne
[08:30] Jenne Dibou: we experienced a lot, played with the ideas around, and all these things just came real. and even more kept in my pocket hidden :D

Meeting a SL Designer!

Well, we visited the Forgotten City sim in SL and we were amazed by the beauty and creativity of the place, so we invited one of the graphic designers that worked in its creation.

Her name is Jenne Dibou. You can visit her blog here: http://jdmtf.blogspot.com/

She accepted to come see us on Wednesday 21. So be ready to meet her and ask her about her work. It'll be a great idea if you could bring your headphones and microphone.
