- Assess the soundness of authors reasoning when it comes to reading arguments.
- use critical reading skills
- detect claim from supporting details
- Good reasoning isn’t always fast reading
- ask who wrote the text and WHY.
- Reading once through is not enough
- skim for context, read for content
- skim before you read fully
- ask who,what,when, where and why while reading
- annotate as you read
- Read first and last paragraphs first
- then read full argument slowly
- Sally doesn’t go into what athletes would do if they didnt make it into the pros
- just states her opinion
