Non-critical vs. Critical Reading Ms. Mo OCSA

What were the two different “levels” of reading we experienced in today’s opening activity? “How to Bartle Puzballs?”  You found the answers verbatim in the text  You pronounced words but didn’t understand the meaning of them  You finished the worksheet but have no “enduring understanding” “Conversation Piece”  You relied on a key words to form your interpretation: “dead,” “unfaithful,” “police”  You inferred murder and infidelity  You imagined  You explored possibilities  There was some room for variance for interpretation

First draft/level of reading = non-critical reading Primary goal is to RECOGNIZE what a text says  Recognize a sequence of events  Understand main ideas and opinions of the topic presented Your response in annotating:  Predict a topic or plot from the title  Feel free to note areas or even write the actual question where you are confused, curious, reacting strongly  Circle new vocabulary words to look up later **Non-critical reading is satisfied with recognizing what a text says and restating the key remarks

Second draft/level of reading = close and critical reading Close reading asks us to go beyond recognizing what a text states, it asks us to re-read to identify  What a text does (this is called description)  What a text means (this is called interpretation ) Your response in annotating:  Ask specific questions and explore answers  Use your existing knowledge to infer [logically guess] what the text means  Look at language use Goals of Critical Reading  Recognize an author’s purpose  Understand tone and persuasive elements  Recognize bias

Two key terms IMPLY  What is the author’s trying to say in a subtle way?  Where can you find evidence of his/her implication??  How does this implication connect to the author’s purpose at large in this text? INFER  Based on your existing knowledge and new clues from the text, what are you logically guessing/concluding?  What meaning are you constructing [making] in between the lines?
