Second Reading
- Ready for a second read moving on to the next step: evaluation.
- Review difficult sections, are they clearer?
- Do comments cluster around certain parts?
- Reread summaries, can you identify which chapters had the climax, the center of the writer's argument, or the author's own summary?
- This time notes will be more detailed.
- Why did author write book? Goal?
- Was he successful? Why/why not?
- Notes begin to reflect your own thoughts (why and how)
- Final question: so what?
- What does this writer want me to do?
- What does this writer want me to believe?
- What does this writer want me to experience?
- Am I convinced that I must do or believe what the writer wants me to do or believe?
- Have I experienced what the writer wants me to experience?
- If not, why?
- A good reader bases his opinion on analysis, not reaction.
- A reading partner/group is essential at this stage.
