NF Reading Zone: class Animal Testing Article Behavior Expectations: Eyes focused on YOUR article Voices off / silent Persevere and complete all steps for the whole article Surveying the Text: 1st Read What does it seem like this text is mostly about? Look at topic sentences Look at photos Look at charts What idea(s) do all these parts point to? Read the text carefully with that central idea in mind Reflect & Revise: What was it really about? Annotate by Paraphrasing Chunks: 2nd Read Stop after every paragraph or short section: What’s most important in this part? Say it in your own words OR a sketch Write / Draw in the margins & keep reading At the end, look over your notes: What is the WHOLE article about? Craft a claim statement regarding central idea

In your group: Everybody Shares as an Expert on their article Rehearse what the article you read is mostly about & what the author’s point seems to be.
