Reading Instructions: Reading Guides are separated into 3 parts. Part 1 is identification. Define and explain the significance
of the terms listed. Part 2 is Main Ideas. Each main idea of the chapter is listed, while reading you need to take notes on that
main idea, covering the information thoroughly. These notes can be in any form you like. Part 3 is a summary. You will need
to write a short 3-5 sentence summary of the section you just read. This should be done on your own notebook paper. It is
important that you read the entire section, not just the parts needed to fill out the reading guide. There is an incentive for
completing your reading guides on time when it comes to taking quizzes. Please do not copy reading guides from another
student. That harms both of you.
