What is the topic you are reading about? Mobile phones

  • What is the source citation? Just copy and paste it from the bottom onto your blog. DO NOT COPY THE URL! "Mobile Phones." 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. Many people enjoy using cellular phones. They must keep their cell phones with them at all times unless they need to charge them overnight. 
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea. If we keep our cell phones with us at all times, we are able to keep in touch with our family. Keeping in touch with our families is a good way to chat with them. 
  • 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, while implicit means implied though not plainly expressed.
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand. Nothing.
  • Next, write down what may be preventing you from understanding it (is it an unrecognizable term? an unfamiliar person, place, or allusion?) Nothing prevents me. I understand a lot about cellular phones in the United States
  • Use a third party resource (dictionary, thesaurus, Google search) to find its definition or meaning. Write it down. Mobile phones are referred to as cellular phones. 
  • Write one question about the overview that you can pose to your peers in a discussion. Why else do we use cellular phones?
