This textbook feature analysis, a two-page activity that may be copied for classroom use, guides students through a series of questions for understanding their most challenging textbooks. Questions for types of text, sidebars, typography, color, symbols and icons, images and graphics, organization, navigation (headers and footers), testing, note-making strategies, reading speed, and concerns all appear on the left-hand side of the page, while boxes on the right-hand side offer room for students to write their responses.
