Editing is a higher thinking skill.
In a class activity involving a series of review questions, the business of editing - compressing - the questions is probably a higher skill activity than the finding of the answer.
It entails:
- Deciding quickly which words are the essence of the question.
- Which words to omit.
- Use of abbreviations.
- A possible re-ordering of the words to shorten the statement.
When first-year students take notes, the mental sweat spritzes the room.
