How have you figured out what the article means? How do you figure it out? What inferences can you draw from what he says in the article? What is the meaning of this article, and what are the implications of what he is saying?
Here are some ways to break down the understanding of this article:
1.) What are the key words or phrases for you that give the main idea? Underline them.
2.) What words do you not know? Circle them. look them up or figure out their meaning from context clues, and breaking the word into parts, and define them. Once you know the new words, go back to the sentence. Translate that sentence into your own words. Do this with every sentence you didn’t understand. I have created a sheet, available in the classroom, that makes this easy to do.
3.) Dikiana in Pd. 5 suggested that a person could look at and explain each paragraph seperately. She used the margin of her paper to do that. You could use a separate piece of paper or Cornell Notes paper.
4.) Everyone must have their synopsis written in paragraph form on a separate sheet of lined 8.5x11 paper. Attach your synopsis of the article to your notes and turn it in to me.
