Table Mat Information

We learnt about skimming and scanning.

Skimming is going through the book and looking for facts and questions through out the text. Scanning is reading a specific peice of knowledge.

We used skimming and scanning for a book called ( Killer Quakes )

We first we had to write our prior knowledge. Prior knowledge is a peice of knowledge that we already know about the book. 

Next we searched in the book to find four facts about the book. One of my facts were: Scientist use a machine called a seismograph which measures how strong a earthquake is. 

Lastly we wrote down key questions and questions I would ask. Key questions are what the author thinks in their mind. Questions that I would ask is what questions that I would think of the story.

I enjoyed learning about skimming and scanning because I learnt new facts about earthquakes.
