As we continue building-up our background knowledge that will inevitably support and enhance our reading of Frightful’s Mountain, it is important the we remember to continue to research and learn during the reading, too. Today, we focus on using NPS Coordinates while viewing and analyzing media sources. We will use the same questioning techniques and strategies to support this “reading”.
