What close reading means to me...

I read the text slowly at least twice. x2

I get the gist of what the text is about.

I write down words that I am unsure of and try to figure them out.

I reread, take notes, and underline key vocabulary on a post-it.

?
I use the text to answer questions.
? ?
I gather evidence from the text.

I talk with peers about the text, what it means, and my ideas.

I read again to summarize or answer specific questions.

Let’s get reading!
