  • What is the topic you are reading about? Activism
  • What is the source citation? Just copy and paste it from the bottom onto your blog. "Activism." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 14 Oct. 2015.
  • Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentences Activism takes many forms of existence.
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea  Activism is a form of a debate, whether for or against something. 
  • 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, whileimplicit means implied though not plainly expressed. How did activism become involved in the United States? 
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand. Activism drives all movements
  • Next, write down what may be preventing you from understanding it (is it an unrecognizable term? an unfamiliar person, place, or allusion?) I never heard this word before
  • Use a third party resource (dictionary, thesaurus, Google search) to find its definition or meaning. Write it down. A synonym of activism is boycotting
  • Write one question about the overview that you can pose to your peers in a discussion. Is activism really a form of debate?

  1. James, you wrote: " Activism takes many forms of existence." I think you meant to write: Activism exists in many forms.
