Read the passage labeled number 2 starting on p. 473 in your text.

A blank template is included in the Unit 8 Readings section (located on the left nav.) for the Spider Web graphic organizer.

Here is the reading from the text:
Students indicate that learning can be divided into two categories: incidental learning and intentional learning. Incidental learning takes place by chance; there is no clearly define intention to learn. For eaxmple, a student wanting to check if he knows the first sixteen presidents of the United States may ask a friend to listen while they are named. During the recitation, the friend may, by chance, also learns the names of the sixteens presidents. Intentional learning occurs when a clearly defined purpose exist from the very beginning. For example, a student may sit down with a list of the fifty states and their capitals because she needs to learn them for a test. Current research suggests that intentional learning is more effective because it stays with us over time.
