Reading:

You have been doing such a great job learning all about Ancient Egypt! There are so many books and websites that you can explore to learn even more. Today, we are going to focus on taking notes while you are reading so you can keep the new stuff you learn in a safe place.

When I am reading, I like to keep a pack of post-its and a pencil near by. You can also use a notebook to write down some notes.

When I am reading, I jot down...

-new information

-questions I have

-interesting or new words

-my opinion or thoughts

-a sketch of something that I want to keep in my mind

Watch how I do this in the video below.

Try to stop and jot 3 to 5 post its (or more if you’d like) today and every day! Mix it up!
