Reading:

Yesterday, we focused on how to check to make sure we are understanding what we are reading. That is important to do when you read any book. Now that you are learning so much about different topics, how do you organize all of this information?

One way to do it is to use boxes and bubbles. Check this out!

Pick a topic that you are interested in.

I chose The Great Sphinx. Jot down some important information you learned about the Great Sphinx of Giza. You don’t have to write in full sentences when you’re jotting notes -- quick simple ones are just fine! Try this out with a few topics that you are interested in right in your reading notebook.

Please see the photo below for an example of "boxes and bubbles."
