Answer to Question 1

Acceptable answers: title, headings, marginal info, opening paragraphs, visual aids of any
kind, captions, graphs, sentences or words in bold or italics, first sentences of paragraphs,
chapter summaries, chapter objectives, etc. Almost any immediate perspective-gaining
strategy will do.

Answer to Question 2

This answer should demonstrate the student's ability to anticipate, based on the learned
definition of common knowledge, what it's like when the author expects him or her to have
common knowledge. For example, the student may say that he will notice terms being used
that the author doesn't bother defining. Or, the author will use strange quotes without giving
explanations for them. Or even use a foreign language without giving a translation.
