Which part of a textbook reviews the overall organization and contents?Look in the front
Read and think about the table of contents. This shows the overall organization of the course and helps a student identify what's important. Glance over any preface or foreword to get an idea of the book's purpose.
Which part of a textbook contains a list of key words and their definitions group of answer choices?A glossary is an alphabetical list of technical terms and definitions customized to a specific subject. Usually found at the end of a textbook or textbook chapter, glossaries contain sets of words narrowly geared toward the book's subject matter.
Which part of a book is often an endorsement of the book written by someone other than the author?A foreword is a substantial introduction or statement about a book by someone other than the author of the book. Since someone else is giving your book props just by agreeing to write a foreword and sign his name to it, it's almost like a very long endorsement of the work minus the gushiness about how great you are.
Which method is recommended when reading a chapter in your textbook for the first time?It is best to highlight sentences as you read them for the first time. Making a list of new terms and definitions you encounter in a text can help you to learn the material more effectively.
