* Employ techniques of active reading, critical reading, and informal reading response for inquiry, learning, and thinking.
I believe I have used the techniques of active reading, critical reading, and informal reading response for inquiry, learning, and thinking in the multiple annotations we have done in class. While reading these texts below, I highlighted things that interested or confused me. I then found and wrote definitions to words I was unsure of, wrote down different questions I had from reading, highlighted sentences that I thought would be a good quote in my writing, and wrote down connections I made to other authors while reading. I decided what to mark by what stood out to me, like sentences that I thought were important details to the writing. This is very helpful when pulling from said texts to create your own writings. Already having highlighted sentences I found intriguing, helped me quickly make connections to what I was saying.
Above I highlighted and made marks on many things, but mostly sentences I found interesting or frustrating, along with ones I liked and agreed with.
Above you can see that I highlighted a few things on this page, certain things that jumped out at me. I highlighted a sentence in purple about Carr, connecting this piece, “In Defense of Distraction”, to Carr’s piece, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”. Knowing that I was going to have to put two sources into conversation with each other in my essays.
