II. Identify the main idea or thesis in the news story you selected. In other words, what is the key concept being expressed or examined in the news story?

III. Describe the evidence that supports the main idea of the news story. For example, if the main idea of your news story is that volcanoes can cause massive amounts
of damage, your supporting evidence should consist of examples of volcanoes and the damage they caused.

IV. Pose questions that a natural scientist might be interested in, based on the main idea and supporting evidence that you identified. For instance, you
might ask questions about volcano prediction or the causes of volcanic eruptions.

V. Where could you look for more information about the science topic discussed in the news story and the questions that you posed? You do not need to
list specific sources, but your response should focus on the types of sources you could use to research the topic and questions.
answer the question “Do you feel that the information presented in your news story is valid and reliable?”
