1. Annotate what you read
-
One of the ways to interact with the writer is to
write on the text.

phrases or sentences that contan important
details, or you can write marginal notes asking

writer.
-You can create your own style of annotating

organize your thoughts and
identify areas to be included in
your write-up

dialogue with the text or with the writer
of the text, you need to identify the
main points of the writer and list them
down so you can also identify the ideas
that the writer has raised to support
his/her stand.

related words are identified and
connected
2. Venn Diagram
- used in comparing and contrasting
two entities
