Reading skills

Instructions

You will do at least two different reading assignments. Your assignments should all come from different sources; check the list below.

For each assignment, you will need to:

  1. summarise the story (if fictional) or main items (if non-fictional) of the text you read;
  2. make a mini-dictionary of at least ten words and phrases you have read --> you can later add these words to your vocabulary list;
  3. find out more information about the author and/or source;
  4. collect your work for steps 1-3 in one document (Pages / Keynote / paper) and add it to your tile in Egodact.
