Most of the information presented from this time’s reading s again, more or less known to us from prior education. I had been taught over and over before to engage with reading through annotation and note taking, skimming and rereading, and summarizing, though I had also been told that highlighting isn’t as effective, but I guess perhaps compare to nothing it is still some level of engagement. The reading introduced couple of new strategies to help me stay engaged with the reading including forming expectations and evaluating underlying assumptions. The most fascinating element found from the reading was how it distinguished facts from opinions and beliefs. It also taught us how to evaluate each piece of information to find out if they are really facts or just opinions and beliefs. The writer’s intensions also need to be factored into consideration as we are reading, leading to the end of the assignment’s with the familiar terms of ethos, logos, and pathos.
