The colonies of
microorganisms are
visible to the naked
eye.
Now we have evidence
about microorganisms
that live on the human

Activity 2
Microbiome: Lesson 2.1
Life scientists read a lot. They read about
investigations that other scientists have done,
and they read to learn more about life
science. They also read carefully and
critically, making sure that they understand
the ideas.
Active Reading is a way of reading science
texts that is similar to how scientists read.

Activity 2
Microbiome: Lesson 2.1
Raise your hand if you have ever read
something for class but realized you didn’t
actually remember or didn’t try to really
understand what you were reading.
Why do you think that happens?

Activity 2
Microbiome: Lesson 2.1
Annotating a text
means recording your
own thinking as you
read.
This is an article that a
student annotated while
reading.

Activity 3 - Screen 1
Microbiome: Lesson 2.1
We observed evidence
that there are different
types of
microorganisms on
the human body.
To learn more about
these microorganisms,
we will read an article.

Microbiome: Lesson 2.1
I will model Active Reading. I’ll show you:
● how to annotate to show your thinking.
● some strategies you can use, such as
identifying challenging words, returning to
questions, and making connections.
● our focus strategy for this unit—asking
questions.

I can record
connections like these
so I can remember my
thinking.

Active Reading Guidelines
Activity 5
Microbiome: Lesson 2.1
Think carefully about what you read. Pay attention to your own
understanding.
As you read, annotate the text to make a record of your thinking.
Highlight challenging words and add notes to record questions and make
connections to your own experience.
Examine all visual representations carefully. Consider how they go
together with the text.
After you read, discuss what you read with others to help you better
understand the text.
