28 1 SUMMARIZING: “The Core” of Critical Engagement John Goshert – Entering the Academic Conversation

29 Students become e__ __ __ __ __ __ on the content,

30 develop skills for explaining information accurately,

31 anticipate their own critical responses,

32 and gain c_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to “enter the academic conversation.”

33 http://www.flickr.com/photos/pethier/148314179 SSS: reading skills, identifying main ideas, supporting info, identifying effective summaries, note-taking and text-marking skills, practice, reported speech, academic vocabulary

35 2 ANALYZING: Critical Literacy & Information Literacy

36 Students examine how information is organized in academic texts,

37 how to determine the rel __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ of sources,

38 and focus on research ethics and scholarly int __ __ __ __ __ __.

39 http://www.flickr.com/photos/pethier/148314179 SSS: information literacy, compare rhetorical styles, distinguish between points/texts that are well/poorly supported, academic language

40 Read/Listen with the grain. Read/Listen against the grain. Is the information accurate? well-supported? Where is the author/speaker most convincing? Which examples and evidence best support the author’s claims? Where has the author overlooked other perspectives or avoided challenges to claims?

42 3 EVALUATING: Focusing on v_ _ _ _ _

43 Students distinguish between facts and o__ __ __ __ __ __ __,

44 examine content in the context of their own values and beliefs,

45 react and respond to ideas; express and s__ __ __ __ __ __ their own opinions.

46 http://www.flickr.com/photos/pethier/148314179 SSS: materials selection: compelling, current, relevant, targeted work on rhetorical “moves”, supporting opinions, academic language

47 Read/Listen with the grain. Read/Listen against the grain. Where do you agree/disagree, and why? How does the author/speaker encourage you to think differently or change your mind about an issue?

48 “This purposeful summary–response process motivates [students] to break free of simplistic commentary (“I liked it,” “I don’t agree,” and so on) and express [themselves] with meaningful, active participation in an academic conversation.” John Goshert, Entering the Academic Conversation

49 Three-column Reading Log QuotationSummaryResponse Critical engagement requires students to go beyond reporting on a text and assume a position of authority from which they can ask questions, examine details, agree and disagree knowledgably, and provide their responses. Careful, active, critical reading and accurate summary give them the foundation from which they can respond credibly and fully engage with the text. The engaged response is an opportunity to participate with the source in the academic conversation. (page 109) Through critical engagement with academic texts, students become authorities and active participants in the academic conversation. Goshert’s suggested model is intended to empower students. He does not underestimate their potential to become authorities – How do cultural factors and ingrained educational paradigms come into play?

51 4 CREATING: Expanding on ideas and generating new ones

52 Students learn to take in __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ to solve problems,

53 take a__ __ __ __ __ based on what they’ve learned,

54 cnd carry learning beyond the classroom into the r__ __ __-w__ __ __ __ context.
