    (1) make a low-resolution summary

    diff theories trying to explain the evidence from the moon samples and size of craters.

    (2) identify different perspectives and the author’s attitude

    sci 1 - LHB result of big asteroid désintégration

    sci 2 - disagree and say latter impacts obliterated evidence of earlier impacts

    sci 3 - brief duration and existed between earth and moon

    (3) predict the direction of the next paragraph.

    offer authors own opinion

    I would indeed expect the moon to be peppered with all kinds of crater's.

    Anyone else having fun with this stuff or is it just me?

    Now I'm thinking about the HBO series "From Earth to the Moon"

    Group 1: One big boom, because big craters.

    Group 2: Many small booms, later booms covered up earlier booms.

    Group 3: One mid-size boom, because boom was too short and localized to be super-big.

    I deeply hate any science-related passages :(

    I came up with a totally different low-res summary before Kevin started breaking it down, but I think this is still understandable and maybe even short enough to write on test day. I don;t I won't have to rely on writing stuff down by then.

    1) intro

    ctx.

    2. ast.

    period

    short time-only local

    It gives me enough information that I can just recant the arguments in my head.

    Wow. I tried doing my own low-res summaries for this passage. This was insanely hard for me to understand. Ugh.

    How can we distinguish between the critique/debate and phen-hypo style for this kind of passage?

    What would you think about using the highlighting tool for marking the breaks in really large paragraphs? That way it is more visually distinctive and it's much quicker to go back and find your place. I hear that the tool can be a little clunky and that it might sacrifice too much time to try and use it. What are your thoughts?

    If anyone's looking for a laugh my low-res summary was:

    Group 1- big boom and boom everywhere

    Group 2- many small boom all the time

    Group 3- big but constrained boom

    When you do these paragraph breaks, are you eventually supposed to do them in your head like low res summaries, or physically mark up the page?
