Unit 3 WK 4 Overview

 

Week 4 Overview

Last week we worked on annotating and outlining skills. This week you'll review analysis as the next stage of critical reading, and then work with your group cohort to develop a study guide on reading strategies. This will be an extremely useful study guide for you to use as you move through the rest of your English 1A course. 

When you read and annotate material, developing a formal outline from the annotations is great next step to developing understanding, as you learned last week. Beyond that, you need to develo your analysis skills as they relate to a text. 

We'll get started this week by reviewing some of the A Writer's Reference questions and strategies for analyzing a text, and then we'll look at some of the things we need from a text in order to write a good argument.

Knowing what kinds of things we need from a text will help you and your group cohort members to develop a list of critical reading strategies for a study guide that is targeted at writing for college. 

Lets get started!
