 * Chunking is a good way to get the main ideas and supporting details out of a reading. For example if someone reads by chapter there is more than one idea.

Does academic vocabulary differ from class to class?

Even though assigning jobs is a good idea for a group to be organized. I still don't think that it assure that everyone will do their job.

I preview in almost all of my classes each time I start a new chapter of a book.

Besides a thesis statement, it is so important to understand they prompt. Without understanding the prompt the entire essay can be inaccurate.

These different types of questions are always on tests. The hardest for me to answer is Accuracy/Judgement.

The use of primary and secondary sources are important. It can help better understand an event or a historical figure. || __Note-taking__ The best way to start a reading is to first divide the reading into "chunks". After reading each "chunk" summarize it and include the most important details. The summarizing from each "chunk" will contribute to the main summary of the reading. Ask questions, make connections, and/or comment.

__Academic Vocabulary__ Academic vocabulary is used in higher levels of education.

__Cooperative learning and Collaboration learning__ In order to work in groups its best to assign jobs for everyone. This is beneficial to the group so that everyone is doing their fair part of the work and no one person is doing all the work.

__Previewing__ When previewing make predictions, ask question, and connect to previous historical events. Also understand the layout of the text and identify key terms and people.

__Essay Writing__ It is important to know the topic you’re writing about and understand the prompt. Then brainstorm ideas. The essay should be organized, with few grammatical errors, and direct. Include a thesis in the intro paragraph and finish with a strong ending. Include key terms/people, other POVs that can be disproven. Proofread!

 * 3) Consequence (words change, challenge, result, effect, outcome, cause, impact. Identify the cause and the effect of an event).
 * 4) Comparison (Have proper knowledge of a topic and compare it to another topic. Ex: This is similar to).

__Using documents__ Documents can be either reliable or unreliable sources. Primary sources are documents from an exact event, such as: Secondary sources are documents that are the interpretation of a primary source, such as:
 * Artifact
 * Statues
 * Buildings
 * Inscriptions
 * Letters/diaries
 * Eye witness accounts, and many others
