Interactive summary

This week we are making an interactive summary of the article South Pacific Beats. We learnt four different reading strategies to help us understand this article.

The reading strategies we learnt the passed few weeks were: prior knowledge, visualising, skimming and scanning. Prior knowedge is information that you already know about a topic. Visualising is understanding a text and drawing a picture of your understanding. Skimming is reading a text quickly to understand the main idea. Scanning is looking for key words to find specific information.

Next we learnt some vocabulary that was in the article. Vocabulary is when you clarify a word that someone dosen't know or you don't know.

After that we wrote a summary. When we finished writing the summary we wrote down details. A summary is a breif statment of the main point of a topic. Details are specific information about the topic.
