Reading Critically Response

Before reading the actual essay, one should go through "the preliminaries", including analyzing the tile, the author, where the work was published, and when it was published. Next, one should read the essay/writing, annotating it with underlines, circles, highlights, and explanations in the margins. The reader should have a pencil with them the whole time. Afterwards, there should be summarizing, including two final products, the first being a recap of the paragraphs, and the second being a shortened version of the first one. Then, one will go through analysis, inference, and synthesis (which all become just analysis as one, because they are all so similar). There are many things that the reader can analyze, like the language of the writing. These steps can help readers like us become better writers for the future, and be able to comprehend and think critically.
