Chap. 2: I agree that literature allows one to use their imagination when reading a story for pleasure. One may be able to relate their experiences or themself to the story or a character, in which they will become more engaged in the story, therefor unconsiously recieving insight and sometimes advice from what the character they're reading about is doing.
Difference in what we gain from each type of reading:
"Leisure Reading" (poetry, short stories-doesn't require strategy except own use of imagination) vs. "Academic Reading" (require to read for understanding/meaing="acive engagement", must engage in critical thinking/ reflect as we read)
Passive Reading (frusterating experience when one cant comprehend text because mind wanders) reader confuses pleasure w/ academic reading.
academic reading= process in which one must become involved in reading: explore reaction: discovery, analysis, reflection.
1.) primary text: original text 2.) seconday text: literay criticism/other cultural info
*Reading: basci understanding, respond, explore outside text, discuss reading = framework for interpretation.
Chap 3: surface level of text: who, what, where, when..(plot: what happend beginning,climax,end) (Character: relationships to one another) (setting: where story takes place) (Poem: decode/restate in own words)--> leads us to *Construction of Meaning*
Strategies while reading... 1. Annotation (easy/ common): as read take notes in margin (what happening, response, questions) * be selective!*
2. skeleton outline: breif, sketchy overview start in margins to outline form (summarize what happens/ basic ideas of each paragraph)
3. summary: (short stories/fiction) objective restatement of main ideas in text.
Chap 4: individual thoughts/feelings=influence understanding/develop interpretation of text.
explore response to reading strategies: 1.) Photo Collage: verbal representation of your response to verbal text. list impressions (images, events, feeling/overall mood), cut out photos that remind of impressions, reread text, form collage represent impressions.
2.)Dialogue/ double entry journal: records quotations from text, pairs w/ readers response in 2 column list.(ex: quotations from text & My response) *helpful: gathering info for support for an essay, reading secondary text for research*
3.) Identifying patterns of Response: aspect of text respond w/ feeling,characters/plot drawn to, similar words/phrases connect w/--> locate themes look for patterns: a.) Patterns of repetition: similar aspects of text respond to
b.) Patterns of opposition: oppositions in text that might create tension--> explore patterns and respond to them!
