Reading to Learn: Satellites

I have been reading to learn more about satellites. Using close reading skills I read across the text to connect information to help me understand more,I take notes about the key ideas and then use these to write a summary. After that I read another article about the same thing and then I compare and contrast information from both articles and write a synthesis.
