Question 9 • EA Academy Online Learning and Digital Citizenship Elective Spring

Shelly is reading a chapter in her science book. She wants to note the main ideas and details, and wants to pay close attention to a few of the important names as she reads. How can Shelly use highlighting to make the information she is looking for stand out?

Answer
A
She can use three different highlighters: one for the main idea, one for the details, and one for important names.
B
She can use one highlighter and highlight the entire paragraphs that have a main idea, detail, or important name.
C
She can use one highlighter to highlight all of the big words in each paragraph.
D
She can use two different highlighters: one for the first sentence of each paragraph and one for the last sentence in each paragraph.

Explanation

Using a different color for each kind of information helps Shelly quickly tell main ideas, supporting details, and important names apart. Three highlighters let her mark each category consistently. Highlighting entire paragraphs or all big words would make the key information harder to find.
