For example, many students need to read long reports at work. By skimming the report, they can still follow the gist and stop when they find something of particular interest to them.
The teacher may deliver students several newspaper or magazine articles, give them 5 minutes to skim those articles and tell which one they remember better. Circling keywords and writing them down on the board will help students identify the word associations and see the main idea.

After that, the students identify the main points in every paragraph and actually write them in boxes surrounding the topic.
