  • Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentences. the disease are very dangerous to people immune systems and overall health. 
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea. The vaccine will put  small strand in your body so i can create anti bodies to fight the real one off.
  • Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions the text raises about the central idea (explicitly or implicitly). Explicit means stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, while implicit means implied though not plainly expressed. What is in vaccine? and Can it become harmful. 
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand. Microbe.
  • Next, write down what may be preventing you from understanding it (is it an unrecognizable term? an unfamiliar person, place, or allusion?) This is a word that i have never seen.
  • Use a third party resource (dictionary, thesaurus, Google search) to find its definition or meaning. Write it down. a microorganism, especially a bacterium causing disease or fermentation.

  • What is the topic you are reading about?   I am reading about the afghan war.

  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea IN YOUR OWN WORDSIn 2003 the United States opened a new front in the War on Terror by invading Iraq.

  • The National Review Online is a conservative news source that provides commentary on politics, news, and culture.

    • National Review Online. "Not a 'License to Murder'." Self-Defense Laws. Ed. Tamara Thompson. Farmington Hills, MI: Greenhaven Press, 2014. At Issue. Rpt. from "Not a 'License to Murder'." 2012. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 14 Oct. 2015.
    • Simply put, it is unreasonable to demand that crime victims go out of their way to avoid fighting back. Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine laws remove that demand, and the case of Trayvon Martin should not inspire their repeal.
    • If Stand Your Ground can be further clarified to prevent abuse, it should be, but any law can lead to injustice if its text is blatantly disregarded.
    • To justify his claim of self-defense, Zimmerman says that Martin attacked him without provocation, and then knocked him down and beat him. If this is true, Zimmerman had no ability to retreat—and thus would have had no duty to retreat even under the old law.

    The subject I enjoy reading about is world war 2 because of the importance and my great grandfather is still alive and I can ask him questions.

    My favorite hobby is wrestling practice because I get to show my skills.

    If I won the lottery I would use the money to buy a lambo because they are fast.

    The type of volunteer activity I prefer is picking up garbage because I already do that.

    My favorite school subject has always been gym because I excel.

    If I ran the world the first thing I would change would be world hunger because there are a lot of people who don't eat.

    What I consider interesting is antique weapons.
