1. Number the paragraphs.
2. Chunk the text.
*Do this by drawing a horizontal line between paragraphs to divide the page into smaller sections.
3. Underline and circle… with a purpose---Think about what information you want to remember or you think the author wants you to get take from text.
*Underline “claims"(belief statements that the author is making).
*Circle “Key terms” in the text-- words that: 1. Are defined. 2. Are repeated. 3.Are five key terms.
*Circle unknown words
*Underline figurative Language--literary elements and techniques.
4. Left margin: What is the author SAYING?
*Summarize each chunk in 10-words or less. This allows you to look at the text in smaller segments.
5. Right margin: Dig deeper into the text.
*Represent the information with a picture.
*Ask questions about things you didn't understand.
