As you take on a broader range of writing assignments in your classes, it can be helpful to read as a writer, often called reading to write. \u201cReading to write\u201d means approaching reading material with a variety of tools that help prepare you to write about that reading material. These tools can include things like previewing related assignments or lectures prior to reading, specific note-taking methods while reading, and ways of thinking about and organizing the information after completing the reading.<\/p>\n\n\u00a0As we have learned in the previous chapters of this text, effective reading leads to critical reading. Instead of simply reading for your own purposes, you now will also read to understand the deeper, interwoven meanings layered within a text. Critical reading involves the reader in grappling with the text\u2014interacting with it.<\/p>\n
The critical reader digs in and explores a text. They do some or all of the following:<\/p>\n
- \n
- They analyze the structure of the piece<\/strong>. What kind of organization does it follow? Where is the thesis? What types of sentences and language are used? How are the paragraphs structured?<\/li>\n
- They analyze the text itself<\/strong>, either exploring its content or its use of\u00a0rhetoric<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- They capture the text\u2019s main points<\/strong> by summarizing its meaning.<\/li>\n
- They critique the text<\/strong>, passing judgment on its effectiveness.<\/li>\n
- They reach conclusions<\/strong> (make inferences) about the text.<\/li>\n
- They combine their own ideas with the textual analysis<\/strong> to synthesize new ideas and insights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
