Presented by Shayla, Mary & Sydney

Selectivity

Selectivity is when you identify and separate main ideas and important details from a larger peice of information.

Selectivity

Pros & Cons of Selectivity

Selectivity in a Real Life Example

When you decide to start your homework, you can use Selectivity to choose what is most important to start with and then work your way down your list. Start with what is most important and end with less important. It is smart because then you start with something you need help with which is most important for you to thrive to be better at. Then you won't have to worry about the information being disgarded because it is important to you and your learning.
