Chapter Introduction & Interpreting the Evidence (pages 5 - 6)
Instructions: Read the chapter introduction and review the four focus questions in the box. Next read the section titled Interpreting
the Evidence. Clarify any unfamiliar words that are crucial to understanding the passage by using a dictionary and reread any
sentences you don’t understand to get clarification. Remember the MOST common way skilled readers get clarification is by
rereading. Next write a ONE-sentence summary briefly explaining what the section is about in the space provided below. Please do
not use white out, cross outs or write in the margin. If you need to practice your summary on scratch paper do so. If you need more
space you are writing too much. This should be a straightforward polished sentence summarizing the MAIN idea.
