= Next, I want to explain how one of our reading strategies works. Below I will explain how to Chart a Text. Then, I will give an example of how I charted a non-fiction text. = = = = How to Chart a Text : when you chart the text what your going to do is read a paragraph and in one side of your paper {the says side} your going to summarize what the author is saying in that paragraph. Then in the middle you will put the paragraph number and on the far right you will state what the author is trying to tell the reader. = = = =__ My Example from __ (Horrible images of Death in Haiti) =

disturbing that despict death/ human bodies. || 1,2 || Setting up the article or writing an introduction to prepare all readers. || but expose tragedies of innocent people. || 3,4 || The author presents the apposition to the argument of allowing graphic images to publish. || what is/not appropriate at all to show. || 5,6, 7,8 || The author is demonstrating a natural factor between the argument in these paragraphs. || more careful in showing graphic images. || 9,10 || The author begins to demonstrate a proponent of being able to publish graphic images. || in front because they dont want their children seeing images like those and have to explain to them. || 11,12 13,14 || News people are opposing that its not their fault, its basically the parents fault. || because they buy the papers. || 15,16 17,18 || The informers say that authors and photographers do care. || thing. || 19,20 || Casting a proposal to allow graphic images to be published freely. ||

= Finally, I want to showcase three assignments that I am especially proud of. =

** 3-Part source integration **
In this article, “Teenage social media butterflies may not be such a bad idea “, the author Melissa Healy, a writer for the Los Angeles times. She claims that 72% of teens text regularly and 1/3 of them do it more than 100 times a day. She states that parents should not be mad at their kids for spending to much time with socializing with electronics, because it is healthy and they are using it for good use like keeping there selves occupied and not bord. This is important because parents are worrying too much about their kids doing bad things or socializing with strangers, when they are actually doing “healthy” things. And doing a 3-part source integration is important because it explains in simple terms what the article r whatever yo wrote about is.
