2.OR you can insert an outline or digital graphic organizer in this section (if you know how to do this in Word); (do a google search to see what a graphic organizer can look like; the graphic should match the organization of the reading);
- OR you can search for, find, and insert a picture that represents the key ideas (no emoticons).
