1.Have a purpose before photoreading, "like to read without confusion so that the chapter will flow".
That's not really a purpose. It's an affirmation of how you want to read the book A purpose is why you are reading the book.
Why even bother with the book? Where do you expect to use the information. What good will it do you?

[b[2.When I read , which is part of the activation process, A chapter like Pych 102 book have a one purpose, "have a deeper understanding of the chapter.[/b]
Again that is statement of how you want to read the book not why.
Why do you want a deeper understading of that chapter? How will it serve you?

3.Second activation would to reread chapter with a different purpose in mind.
And proceed after I find the answers to my purposes until satisfied.
Is this correct?
Thanks
No you don't need a different purpose to activate further. You only need to activate till all the questions relating to your purpose have been answered. If during the activation you discover information that raises a new curiosity and discover an additional purpose then you have a new set of questions to be answered.
Purpose is why you are reading the book..
Ask yourself. What do I expect to learn from this book. How do I expect to use the information. Where, when, how or why would I need this information. With whom do I expect to duscuss this information.
Answer questions like that and you will find your purpose which you will add to the end of the statements you have so far.
E.g.have a deeper understanding of the chapter so that I can... correctly answer the questions in the exam that henny Penny sets for the class next week.
