| Circle, Underline, Star. |
- Circle Tone words - use your tone vocabulary chart for help if necessary, but remember it is a reference tool only and you may not find exact words used in the speeches.
- Underline Detail words - details include people, places, dates, and locations, just to name a few. Try not to go crazy underlining every sentence. Stick to the important words by limiting yourself to three (3) underlines or less per paragraph.
- Star Important Paragraphs - such as the paragraph that contains the thesis or main topic, supporting points, or shifts in the author's perspective and tone. Also try to limit this to three (3) paragraphs.
