Hey Everyone!

Yesterday in EN 100, we learned several techniques for reading. First, we learned how to use underlining to engage in your readings. It helps you distinguish the important ideas and the unimportant ones. Second, we learned how to annotate, to take noes in the margins, or to record your understanding. The third and last thing we learned was how to outline. It helps you see the relationship of ideas and relative importance in your readings. After, we did a couple of exercises that were pretty easy. I feel like i can be a better reader now. We all should use these techniques when reading to get a better understanding of the passage.

Thanks,
Tiffany

  1. Tiffany,
    By reading your blog post I can tell that you understand how to annotate, underline and that's
    cool. Maybe sometime you could help me, just kidding. I think you'll do great in this class.
