Does Anyone Know Where I Can Read Wayward Son Online? I Cant Ask My Parents To Buy It Online Because

Does anyone know where I can read Wayward Son online? I can’t ask my parents to buy it online because they’re homophobic and they only let me buy the first book bc they didn’t know what it was about. And since I’m from Paraguay, i don’t know when I’ll be able to get my hands on a physical copy of the book and buy it with my savings :(

So, I was relistening to Me, You and Steve, when it hit me HOW PERFECT IT IS FOR SNOWBAZ!! So huh hi Carry On fandom, I did a thing (in 4 days to be exact... I was hyperfixating, as usual).

(if Rainbow sees this: hi! Your books are my lifeblood and you're the best!)

How to Take Notes from a Textbook

I’m currently facing the dilemma of how to take notes from a textbook. It’s hard to know where to begin or what’s the best information I need to really understand the material I’m reading. I have gathered tips and resources to better decide the best method to use the textbook most effectively.

-Preview. Glance over charts or photos used on the pages. Read study questions or summaries that might be given at the end of the chunk of pages. It preps me for the type of reading I will do and to think about the questions as I read. 

-Read actively. Don’t take notes or highlight as you read. Read a short section before you stop to take notes and highlight. Your first step after you read the paragraph is to highlight a phrase or two that were the important parts that you’ll need to know for future reference. Also, go to the margins (or your post-its) and start writing a question or two for the paragraph. When you’re done with the entire section, go back and try to answer these questions without looking at the book. If you can answer it, you are doing well on recalling that paragraph. This is also a good time to make some notes for class.

-Review. At the end of the reading, write a summary (in your own words) of what you just read. It helps to understand what you retained from the reading and highlight parts you need to review. I also like to go back and try to answer those questions I made in the margin again. The BEST thing I like to do is to answer the comprehension at the end of the chapter. Each textbook has one. Answer those and, if you’re unsure of the answer, ask them during class!

Other tips:

-Try to keep your notes in your own words.

-If something is not making sense, try reading it out loud. That can often help you process the material in a new way.

-Multiply the number of pages you have to read by 5 minutes. That is the amount of time the average college student needs to spend on their reading assignment.

-Writing in the book itself is highly recommended, but if you have some reason for not doing that, you might also want post-its and use those on each page in place of writing in the book.
