Students may choose to answer reading questions (see below), summarize, outline, or make a concept map of the material covered for each section of the reading assignment. Complete one review for each section of the reading assignment.
Information for making concept maps is found in the textbook on page SH8.
SKIM means to skim the passage and write a VERY brief summary for the section. Focus primarily on details in other sections of the assignment.
**Italicized assignments for Weeks 33-35 will be completed on pages distributed in class. Other sections complete as usual.
