  3. Introductions to Each Other • Groups of 2, interview each other (5-7 minutes) • What do you enjoy reading? • What do you read most often? (not necessarily for enjoyment) • What do you hope to achieve from this course? • One question that you come up with that you think will elicit good information/good response…

  4. How do you read? • What’s your process? • How do you read for “college”? • What does that even mean? • What helps you when you read? (strategies?)

  5. First Steps • Observations: • What do you notice? • title, main ideas, important info, language choices, style, tone/attitude, publication, images, etc. • What stands out? • specific quotes, specific language, confusions, surprising info, frustrations, etc.

  6. First Steps, cont. • Annotations • What does it mean to annotate a text? • How do we annotate?

  7. Asking Questions (Inquire) • Asking questions about the text in front of you will help you to engage, converse, and contribute to your readings! • Why is (blank) important to the author? • What is her argument? • What is the significance of the author’s use of (blank) word? • What is left out of this argument? • What is the significance of this reading to us now? • Why would the author use the example of (blank) in his argument? • Is this significant to me? Why? Why not?

  8. Putting this Method into Practice • Read the following short article • “8 New Jobs People Will Have in 2025” • Observe • Annotate • Inquire (ask questions!) a list of 3-5 • (I will be collecting this, so you can write your observations on the side margins, your annotations on the actual article itself or on the side, and the questions on the back or the side)
