Scanning for Information
L.I. Develop our research skills
Develop reading techniques for finding information in a text
Once you have found the right book or website by scanning, you need to skim to find the best, most relevant information.
- Read the first paragraph or introduction.
- Read the topic sentences in the other paragraphs. (this is usually the first sentence)
- Look at the images, do they match what you are looking for.
- Read the conclusion.
- Decide if the resource is useful enough to read in full.
Skim read this article.

Look up the meaning of these terms, then write a definition IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
aqueduct - A kind of bridge that makes water flow
delta - Anything that is triangle like the Greek capital Delta is an triangle
This is my scanning for information document and I had to look up the definitions and write them in my own words.
