Chapter 11 Electrical Engineering 249
Communicating about Engineering
1. Listening. In small groups, discuss with
your classmates—in basic, everyday
language—your knowledge and awareness
of electricity. Conduct this discussion as
though you had never read this chapter.
Take notes on the observations expressed.
Then review the points discussed, factoring
in your new knowledge of electricity.
Develop a summary of what you have
learned about electricity and present it to the
class, using the terms that you have learned
in this chapter.
2. Speaking. Working in groups of three
students, create fl ash cards for 10–15
Key Terms in this chapter. Each student
chooses three to fi ve terms and makes
fl ash cards for those terms. On the front
of the card, write the term. On the back
of the card, write the pronunciation and a
brief defi nition. Use your textbook and a
dictionary for guidance. Then take turns
quizzing one another on the pronunciations
and defi nitions of the Key Terms.
