KEY PRACTICE: STRUCTURED READING, WRITING, SPEAKING & LISTENING IN EVERY CONTENT (Seidlitz, 7 Steps - Step # 7)

Seidlitz emphasizes that all reading and writing activities in every content should have a clear purpose. "Why are we reading this problem or this article? Why are we writing this explanation?
