How to Read
THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN READING A HISTORY TEXTBOOK!
1. Read slowly, methodically.
2. Don’t read for the plot, read for the phrasing, the sentences, the words.
3. Have a pencil or pen in your hand. Underline key passages. Write question marks where you’re confused. Make notes in the margins.
Read the text for 15 minutes. Try to read as slowly as you can, read for the words.
Take particular note of three things:
-The major themes, ideas in the text
-The characterization of the narrator, Junior Spirit
-Particularly striking sentences. Be sure to think about why these sentences are so effective.
