							Highlighting
Highlighting is used to organize what you have read. Some people using highlighting will use different colored highlighters to represent different information. Example: Red represents all main ideas. Yellow represents Supporting Details to that Main Idea.

Steps to being a good Highlighter:  Read through the selection first.  Reread and begin to highlight main ideas and their supporting details.  Do NOT highlight the entire sentence. Try to only highlight the facts which are important.  In the margins, write down related topics or ideas you have as you read.

When you study pay attention to the highlighted information and information you wrote down within the margins.
