Social Studies
 You will be reading about cultural or political
  movements, important dates, time periods, and key
  arguments.
 Most of these passages come from journal articles
  covering
  sociology, anthropology, economics, psychology, politi
  cal science, education, and history.
 You will need to read actively:

    definition
   Look for comparisons (relationships) made by the

 If you come across unfamiliar vocabulary, replace it
  with a word you know (use context clues).
 Find the sequence of events or the process such as how
  a bill becomes a law.
 Look for biases from the author.
 Pay attention to who would or would not agree with
  this viewpoint.
