Complete the following:
1. Review Sebastian Junger's article, "Combat High" from the chapter, "Reading in College." Then, examine it again using the features in the digital textbook that allow you to highlight and make notes.
2. Use the Make Highlight feature to indicate the following elements. Then, use the Add Note feature to label each of them:
• Thesis statement
• Main idea(s) for each body paragraph

3. Once you have finished highlighting and annotating, select all of your highlights and notes from the Notes column on the left side of your digital textbook screen. Copy and paste them into a Microsoft Word document.
