(What words did you come across that were new to you?) 4) Personal connection (3-5 sentences): What made you pick THIS article? Why is this information relevant to you? 5) Create 3 follow-up questions for the author. (After reading the passage, what do you still wonder about?) 6) What is something new that you learned from reading this passage?
