Skim vs. Deep Read — Homework
Skim, then deep read this passage: "Coast redwoods are the tallest trees on Earth, with the tallest known specimen, named Hyperion, standing over 380 feet tall. Redwoods can live more than 2,000 years and survive wildfires thanks to thick, fire-resistant bark. Despite their size, redwood seeds are tiny, about the size of a tomato seed, and only a small fraction ever grow into mature trees."
