See video for general guide on how to approach Step 1

Survey the Text 

Take the time to review your instructor's questions in the left-hand panel [1] before you start reading the text so that you establish your reading/learning objectives for the session. 

Once the objectives are clear start reading the document but with the clear intention of looking for sections in the text that you could use to answer your instructor's questions.

When you find one - highlight it.

To create a highlight:

2. Select relevant passages (a.k.a 'supporting evidence') in the text.
