The topic i am reading about is solar storms.

 "Solar Storms." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 5 Oct. 2015.


  • What is the topic you are reading about?
  • What is the source citation? Just copy and paste it from the bottom onto your blog. DO NOT COPY THE URL!
  • Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentences IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
  • Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions the text raises about the central idea (explicitly or implicitly). Explicit means stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, while implicit means implied though not plainly expressed.
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand.
  • Next, write down what may be preventing you from understanding it (is it an unrecognizable term? an unfamiliar person, place, or allusion?)
  • Use a third party resource (dictionary, thesaurus, Google search) to find its definition or meaning. Write it down.
  • Write one question about the overview that you can pose to your peers in a discussion.
