A3000: Marathon: A Race, a Battle, or Both?

Step 1: Read the question to see what you are looking for: First, second, or third event?

Step 2: LOOK BACK at the text, skim and scan to find the first event. Use keywords/important words!

Step 3: Continue to skim and scan until you find the next event. Keep going until you find them all.

Step 4: For practice, I've made it EASIER by color-coding.

Step 1: Words like why, reason, and because tell you that the question is about cause and effect.

Step 2: This question will tell the EFFECT. This is WHAT happened.

Step 3: You need to find the WHY for the WHAT. This is the CAUSE.

Step 4: Hint: purple. (Look back at the text)

​

I can use details to explain why an event happened 🎯🎯🎯
