Diana S: signal sentence

Erica E: I would also make a quick notation of this idea. It may mean a quick Google search or something that was noted earlier. Calling it out can be a reminder.

A signal sentence is a sentence that just identifies meta-information about the argument, not presenting the argument itself. Examples would be things like: “We have three reasons for taking this approach.” or “The researchers found two significant differences in the groups they surveyed.” Just presents info, not content.

Erica E: Yes! The summary/transitional sentences can give a lot of clues. Plus, it's a check for us as we are reading -- did the writer give us what they said they would?

Jun 13

Erica E: I look for shifts in ideas or words that denote the idea is continuing. This is a great way to take a moment and get ready for the new idea. When I take notes, I highlight these words to remind me of the new idea.

Jun 13

Erica E: I highlight author names so I can check the references and/or see what else they have written. A quick search can sometimes give me a better foundation for their ideas.

Jun 13

Erica E: One thing I try to do after reviewing headers to to look at the first sentence of each paragraph. Usually this is a topic sentence and can give me the main idea. It's also a good check once I have read the paragraph to see what questions I have.

Keily M: Comment

Davina O: Introduction paragraphs are useful!

Seems like mama describing the new house and Dee doesn’t like it at all, she wants to tear it up.

Jun 10

Davina O: Lacie made a great point to look for direct quotes. By doing that we essentially bring another voice into the conversation which is could be an added advantage of realizing new perspectives and subsequently a new level of comprehension.

I agree using the introduction as a starting point can be key to summoning what knowledge you may know that is pertinent to the text. As basic as it sounds the introduction is there inform readers of what is to come but sometimes in it can be easy to skip over the valuable information and start looking at the body of the text.

Davina O: Paraphrasing is a great way to engage

Paying a bit more attention to direct quotes also directs you to the reference list. Taking a deeper look at the reference list can provide much more of a foundational understanding of the text and also work to create a more complete picture.

Jun 10

Jessica H: Yes! That's exactly what it was, even though it didn't have that name yet.

Leah great suggestion! Being able to paraphrase so that you can understand the context of the reading in your own personal way is definitely a way to engage in conversational reading. Even if your thoughts and the authors thoughts may not necessarily align word for word, there is still an added benefit to paraphrasing.

Jessica H: I see her as kind of in between the two daughters in her level of confidence...More confident than Maggie, less confident than Dee.

She still gets, can i say PTSD? or flashback from their house burning down.

Keily M: comment

I can tell Mama is insecure about to talking to someone in the eyes either because of her skin color or maybe she’s naturally shy unlike her daughter.

Jun 10

Keily M: comment

Jessica H: At least in terms of natural abilities, like innate intelligence, if not material things.

Mama keeps comparing herself to a man because that’s how strong and tough woman she is meaning her life is not easy.

Monique R: I also struggle with not getting through a text when I don't have prior knowledge of the subject matter. However, upon receiving context, I annotate in the margin to create a reference point when reviewing the remainder of the text.

Monique R: Kim, I like your approach for skimming readings by initially reviewing the headers and thesis because this can help with directing your focus when reading a text especially when it's dense. Thank you for this pro tip.
