Critical Reading

As you read, look for ideas you are interested in writing about/responding to (you will eventually narrow to one).

·       Support an idea in the reading you agree with

·       Challenge an idea in the reading you disagree with

·       Discuss an idea that the author has failed to address

·       Offer a solution to the issue the author addresses

·       Analyze the author’s support & reasons: logic; depth

·       Address a related topic that has bearing on the issue
