Regarding the effect of cooperative learning, it’s really a great idea while reading. First, we can divide the homework or report into three to four main parts and team work will save our time because we all have daytime job.

I prefer to use summarizing the gist and combine using context clues normally. Sometimes I will also use visualization to imagine and guess what the author wants to tell us.
