10-second review: Textbooks should include at the end of each chapter proposed extension activities in which the students use or extend the ideas contained in the chapter.
Comment: Might be better than the questions that usually conclude each chapter. Give students something to do with the ideas. Example: After a chapter on the major uses of the comma, ask students to take a magazine, any magazine, and see on a given page how many sentences contain commas after introductory expressions, around interrupters, and before afterthoughts.
After a chapter on the circulatory system, students search the Internet for applications of what is known about the circulatory system in today's world.
