  • What is the topic you are reading about?  AIDS
  • What is the source citation? Just copy and paste it from the bottom onto your blog. DO NOT COPY THE URL!  "AIDS." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 5 Oct. 2015.
  • Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentences IN YOUR OWN WORDS.  AIDS is a serious STD that does not have a sure fire cure yet.  Many believe conspiracy theories based on the disease.
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea IN YOUR OWN WORDS.  People should take tests for AIDS.  AIDS is a disease with no cure so we must be careful to avoid it.
  • Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions the text raises about the central idea (explicitly or implicitly). Explicit means stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, while implicit means implied though not plainly expressed.  How close are we to finding a cure for AIDS?  Where did AIDS originate?
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand.  STD
  • Next, write down what may be preventing you from understanding it (is it an unrecognizable term? an unfamiliar person, place, or allusion?)  It is an unrecognizable term.
  • Use a third party resource (dictionary, thesaurus, Google search) to find its definition or meaning. Write it down.  STD stands for sexually transmitted disease.
  • Write one question about the overview that you can pose to your peers in a discussion.  What are some ways we as teens can avoid getting AIDS
