Engaging the Reader: Close Reading Part 1 of “Shrouded in Myth”

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Read and reread for better understanding. Scholars listen to a read aloud of Shrouded in Myth. They talk with a partner about the things they noticed and wondered about the text. They then listen to the text a second time to focus on the gist and vocabulary before going back to the text and circling any unknown words to annotate.
