L stands for LOOK FOR CLUES, SUBHEADINGS, KEYWORDS

I read the passage asking myself the following questions: Do I see any subheadings or keywords? Do I see any bold faced words? Yes, I do the see the subheading Main Causes of the Spanish American War in bold print. I remember this what my teacher told me I had to look for subheadings and keywords. Underneath, I see 4 main causes of the Spanish American War. Now, I am going to write the causes down on my paper.

        - Yellow journalists fan opposition to Spain.
        - Cuba rebels against Spain
        - The Maine explodes
        - Americans support Cuban Independence
