Learning Outcome Three: Active Reading- Employ techniques of active reading, critical reading, and informal reading response for inquiry, learning, and thinking.
I read an essay called “Making Conversation and The Primacy of Practice” by Anthony Kwame Appiah and I had to prepare it for discussion. I went through the essay highlighting areas where I had questions, terms that needed extended definitions, and what connections I made with the article. Once I found quotes for each section, I provided an explanation of what my take was on the quote. This process helped me get used to analyzing important texts and other scientific articles. Below, the questions are in light blue, annotations are in orange, rhetorical is in pink, and the connections are in red.
