Reading Strategies

I agree with the statement the book implies by reading, "Different texts require different kinds of efforts. Some texts can be read fairly quickly". There are so many strategies to reading. There are many different ways to read strategically, like sometimes when i read these assigned writings...I skim, other times I focus on my reading and really try to understand what I am reading.
It talks about Considering the Rhetorical Situation which talks about the purpose, audience, genre, stance and media design when reading. Another thing I really liked while i was reading was learning about annotating. When editing someone, or my own paper, I always use annotating. I think it is very helpful to use this when you are reading.
Next in the reading we get to learn about outlining!! What it says, what it does and summarizing; are all steps in the process of outlining.
Analyzing the argument. This part of the reading I found very helpful and interesting since we are doing an analyzing assignment in class. All in all the reading had many helpful points that many of use will hopefully use in our assignment coming up! laterrrr
