Document Summary

Saying yes, no, and maybe: read every word three ways: read between the lines and in the margins, read the whole terms in parts, and read each part in terms of the whole. Why become a critical reader: resist being controlled by other people"s language, test your wits, and contribute to the thoughts and actions related to those issues, get involved in the conversation and make your voice count. How can you become a more critical reader: reading strategies differ from person to person, know your strategies, your strength and weaknesses, and build your strengths. Previewing: determine the purpose for why you"re reading, consider the title. How is it structured: decide what you think the main point or theme will be. Annotating: mark places that are confusing, identify key points/arguments, terms, recurring images, and ideas, note statements that you agree/disagree with, are there any counterarguments you can think of, note the sources.
