1.) How would you advise Delila to prepare for her course reading? I would Delila to use the P.O.W.E.R model to prepare. She needs to set short term goals to reach different parts for the week or the day. She needs to gather all needed materials to remember important points from the reading.

Some techniques she may use to memorize long list or other key material from her reading would be create a list or jot down important key points in the reading. She also, could create Acronyms or words or phrases formed by the first letters of a series of terms.

Write a short summary of the strategies you believe would work best for you when approaching a large reading assignment.
