South Pacific Beats | Interactive Summary

We were making an interactive summary about the article South Pacific Beats. The first thing we did was to learn the reading strategies that helped us understand the text.

The reading strategies we practised were: prior knowledge, visualising, skimming and scanning. Prior knowledge is when you already know things about the topic of the text. Visualising is the process of understanding some of the text and then drawing what you understand. Skimming is when you read a text quickly to understand the general idea of the book. Scanning is when you look for specific information in a text.

After that we looked at the vocabulary. Vocabulary is when you define the words that you think someone doesn't understand or you think you don't understand.

We read the article until we understood the text. After that we created an interactive summary. We wrote a summary about the article then added the details. A summary is a brief description about the whole text. Details are the specific information about the book.
