take a nap and let what you read sink in, then prepare a list of things you liked and things you didn’t like about the text and be ready to share those thoughts with your classmates

discuss the content of the text with a classmate or peer and tell them what ideas you agreed with and what ideas you disagreed with, comparing their thoughts with your own

close the text and write down everything you can remember from it without looking back at the text, draw a picture to represent the text’s main idea, and compare it with your memory list

write a summary of the main ideas, develop a list of questions you have about what you just read, and use your notes to reflect on the reading as a way to solidify its message in your head
