Close Reading Strategieswhen reading scholarly text
• Number the paragraphs- to cite and refer to the text. One simple way to do this is by numbering each paragraph, section or stanza in the left hand margin.
• Chunk the text - faced with a full page of text, reading it can quickly become overwhelming. Break it up the text into smaller sections (or chunks) by drawing a horizontal line between paragraphs to divide the page into smaller sections.
• Underline and circle… with a purpose- underline and circle very specific things. Think about what information you have been asked to take from the text – ie main idea,fact.
• Left margin: What is the author SAYING? - This is where chunking comes into play.
In the left margin, summarize each chunk in 10-words or less.• Right margin: Dig deeper into the text - Use a power verb to describe what
the author is DOING. (For example: Describing, illustrating, arguing,) Ask questions.
Magazine or Journal
Magazine-from wikipedia
Publications, usually periodical publications, that are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising.
Journal- from wikipedia
In academic use, a journal refers to a serious, scholarly publication that is peer-reviewed. A non-scholarly magazine written for an educated audience about an industry or an area of professional activity is usually called a trade magazine.

Over the summer our community experienced a tremendous odor and we learned that it was coming from the landfill in the neighboring community which collects all of the recycled waste from homes and businesses in the surrounding communities.
