TIMELINE TOPICS

Through our discussions yesterday, it became quite clear that you need a bit more practice reading challenging, non-fiction material. We have shown you an example of interactive reading and while some students benefit from such models, others need more hands-on practice - that’s what you are going to do today. We are not going to lie to you, this will require you to think - hard! We promise you, this will be effort well-spent and it will help you to become a must more efficient and effective reader.
