LITERACY

2. After finished with the article, research and read more information on the topic in the article. Using the SEARCH criteria that we went over on Wednesday, find another source of information and add the information to what you already have in your books.

3. Record the website information from in your books.

4. Answer the following questions based on what you“stole” from each article. Answer the questions in your books.

1. What new thoughts do you have about the topic?
2. If you were to tell someone about this issue, write what you would tell them?
3. Is the way you organized the information working? Would you do anything different next time?
