1. I had just finished a response so i clicked a couple of tabs, scrolled down, and started reading.
2. I think it means that you must go beyond the "good reader " and see the reading more deeply and perhaps relate to it.
3. Maybe that it relates to the real worlds or the readers life.
4. Reading deeper than the surface and analyzing more than just the direct meaning.
5. Because you are already approaching the reading with a different prospective and youre not just going to simply read it.
Isaac, having read your answers I can see that you have a good understanding of Haas and Flower's concepts and the gistof the reading. however, I'd like to see you develop your answers to each question a little more.
ReplyDeleteLet's take the very first Question. It asked:
How did you approach this cold reading? What was
your reading process? Be as detailed as possible, so that I could read your answer and repeat exactly what you did from the time you got this piece of paper to the time you turned in your response.
This question isn't asking you to explain what you did before you read, but rather to explain in detail how you read. Consider the word process. Are processes quick or do they take time, are there many parts to a process or is a process a simple and single step?
I want you to really step back and think about what you did when you read, how you read, and how you came to understand what you read.
When I read I find myself focusing on ending statements alot (the ends fo paragraphs or sections). I do that because I feel like that's where writers will often focus important information. sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, but I always look to the ends for information. When I can't find it there then I jump to the middle of a paragraph or section and then if that doesn't clear things up I look at intros and begining statments. This is my bottom up process. Once I've found the info I make it a point to write my notes on the margins near the main or important info. Mynotes aren't summaries of the info but rather my responses. this is my process for reading. It can actually get much deeper than this.
This is the kind of answer I'm looking for in response to a question that asks you How you read.
Go backand revise your response to give a mroe detailed explanation of your reading process. You will have to re-read the Haas and Flower excerpt, taking time to think about what your are doing when reading, how you are reading it and why you are reading the way you are.
I approached the reading pretty calmly because I already had prior knowledge of it already. But I found myself reading too fast because when I stopped in the middle of it I could not recal what I had just read. So after skimming through the first paragraph I went back and focused more on what I was reading. I was able to understand what I was reading better and was actually engraving what I was reading into my memory. I did the same process for the rest of the reading and in the end I esta satisfied with how u had read and the amount of information I could recal.
