ANNOTATION
GENERAL ADVICE
The word “critic” is of Greek origin and means, “one who can judge and discern.” As you read the assigned texts this year, concentrate on being a sincere “critic” of the material.
If you learn to read actively, you will see your retention, understanding, and ability to analyze improve DRAMATICALLY. Reading actively does not just mean highlighting. You have to have an active CONVERSATION with the text and be emotionally and intellectually ENGAGED with the text. Use several of the following strategies as you read and annotate your text.
* Define unfamiliar words (small soft-cover dictionary or dictionary.com).
* Notice oddities: words, images, or elements that stand out. Postulate why they are included in the text.
* Summarize important paragraphs, ideas, or chapters.
* Break difficult texts into small sections and paraphrase or summarize each sentence or section.
* Paraphrase important ideas or themes.
* Add your own insights or impressions.
* Agree or disagree with the text. Say why.
* State your concerns, insights, or criticism.
* List your experience or other examples that contradict or agree with the text.
* Ask questions.
* Identify passages that need clarification.
* Make alternative suggestions for action.
* Predict outcomes of characters’ actions or authors’ suggestions.
* Read poetry texts aloud to help you with pacing, phrasing and tone identification.
* Highlight or underline judiciously. Don’t go nuts with the highlighter.
* Don’t expect or require that a work must mirror your own attitudes, standards, morals, or opinions in order to be worthwhile.
* Be open to the author’s purpose and to new responses or perspectives in yourself. Approach a disturbing text as an opportunity to refine and articulate your own ideas and to see what the strengths and weaknesses are. Good literature should challenge you. When you consider the ideas carefully, you have a chance to expand your knowledge base and to form your approach to the world based on conscious decision rather than just habit or the limited influences in your own life experience.
* Reading actively encourages you to embark on the journey Socrates, the great Greek philosopher, maintained was the most important human pursuit: Know Thyself.
