Alan's history teacher asked the class to research some of the causes of the Civil War. Alan finds several different resources online, so he briefly looks each one over and chooses to only read those that discuss things that happened before the war started. As he reads the articles, he writes down the title of each one, the main ideas included in each, any important information related to his purpose, and then a brief explanation of how the information can help him complete the assignment. Place a checkmark next to each reading strategy that Alan is using: He is using his own experience to better understand the information.
He is making decisions about what is important.
He is summarizing and synthesizing the information.
He is self-monitoring his comprehension.
He is asking questions while he is reading.
