2. Identifying important ideas and stating the author’s purpose

3. Selecting direct quotes and wondering

4. Selecting direct quotes and making a connection such as “This reminds me of. . .”

5. Selecting direct quotes and drawing or describing what you are visualizing

6. Selecting direct quotes and stating why you’re feeling confused

7. Selecting direct quotes and making a prediction

8. Selecting direct quotes and making a comment
