  3. Select a short passage and complete the SQ3R steps by writing key points, questions, answers, paragraph summaries, and a final overall summary. 

  ✱  SQ3R Method Application

  Let's use the following short, fictional passage for this exercise:

Sample Passage:

The Importance of Sleep for Learning Sleep is a critical process for memory consolidation, the process by which unstable new memories are converted into stable long-term memories. Scientists have found that the brain actively rehearses and transfers information from short-term to long-term storage during Deep Sleep Non-REM Stage 3). A lack of adequate sleep can severely impair a student's ability to recall information learned the previous day. Therefore, students should prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep to maximize their learning potential and academic performance.  

                ✱  S - Survey  

       In this step, you skim the passage quickly, noting the title, headings, and any bold or italicized words to get a general idea of the content. 

              ●  Key Points Noted: 

      

          ● Main Topic: The importance of sleep for

              learning.

          ●   Key Concepts: Memory consolidation, 

                Deep Sleep (Non-REM Stage 3).

           ●   Main Argument: Sleep improves recall

                and maximizes learning potential.

    

   Q - Question : 

  

          Convert the headings and key points into specific questions. This gives your reading a purpose-to find the answers.

 ●    Questions Created:

1. Why is sleep important for learning? 

2. What is memory consolidation? 

 3. During which sleep stage does the brain                actively transfer information?

 4. How does a lack of sleep affect academic              performance? 

     R - Read : 

      Now, read the passage actively and thoroughly, focusing on finding the answers to the questions you just created. 

     ●    ( This step is the actual reading process 

where you actively engage with the text to

understand the concepts.)  

    

   R - Recite (Recite/Recall and Summarize
    Paragraphs)

After reading each section (or the whole short passage), look away and verbally or mentally recite (state/recall) the answers to your

questions and the main ideas in your own words. This is where you write your answers and the paragraph summary. 

   ●   Answers to Questions Recital/Recall): 

      

   1. Sleep is important because it allows for

      memory consolidation.

   2. Memory consolidation is the process of

    turning new, unstable memories into stable,         long-term ones.

   3.  The brain actively transfers information

     during Deep Sleep (Non-REM Stage 3). 

   4.A lack of sleep severely impairs the

      ability to recall information, negatively                affecting performance. 

 ●   Paragraph Summary (Summarizing the                main content in your own words): 

 

  Sleep is vital for learning because it facilitates memory consolidation,  especially during Deep Sleep, when new memories are moved to long-term storage. For optimal learning and academic success, students must get 7-9 hours of quality sleep, as sleep deprivation hurts information recall. 

     R - Review (Overall Summary) 

           Review your notes, questions, and answers immediately after finishing. Then, create a final, concise overall summary of the passage's main idea and supporting points. 

  

        

            ●    Final Overall Summary:

       

        key takeaway is that sufficient sleep is not optional, but essential for academic success. The brain uses Deep Sleep to perform memory consolidation, which converts daily learning into lasting memories. Students must get 7-9 hours of quality sleep to ensure proper recall and maximize their overall learning  potential.
