CSU reading
Hello,
This page is for the sources of material for the Cal State Reading protocols. The T-Rex article is the one done in class, while the Endangered Sharks was the student responsibility as homework. If you are away from school you will meed to turn in both using the CSU protocols. You may find my email on the introduction page on the syllabus.You will need these articles for the CSU writing protocols as well.
What instruction I gave was to pre-read (look at titles, pictures, anything not text) and annotate (write thoughts/notes on the article itself). Not trying to talk down at all, but teachers have a jargon, and I always try to break it down. Then read the article quickly and write impressions, thoughts, anything. Re-read the article, identifying unknown words (look them up and write definition on the back) and as much as possible for each paragraph or element, identify key ideas, and consider these questions, what does it say? (What do i know it means?), what do I think it says/ (what do i think I know?), what does it really say? (look at specifically and literal meanings). The t-rex title might look like this: The title says that T-rexes walked together, it think it means they also had some kind of pack, but it says hints at which is not the same as to prove or proof. The idea is go beyond just reading along but to analyze the reading and finally summarize the article in a paragraph.
