Survey Question Read Recite Review Look and make a quick judgment. What do you hope to learn? Read for the answers. Make sure you are clear as you go. Review the questions you hoped you would get answers to; did you get them? Begin to ask why or why not. Make judgments where appropriate. SQ3R

What does it mean to be critical?--------------- Why do we think critically?----------------- How do we think ------critically? Looking at multiple views To learn. To participate actively and thoughtfully in all of your life. Question everything. Critical Thinking
Questioning and Evaluating Critical reading does not mean disproving the text or disapproving of it. It means thoughtfully inspecting, weighing, and evaluating the writer’s ideas.
Page 9-- #1 • Judge the reading’s credibility. Where was it published? How reliable is the author? How current is the information? How accurate and complete does it seem to be? In addition, consider the author’s tone of voice, attitude, and apparent biases.
Page 9--#2 • Put the reading in a larger context. How do the text’s ideas match what you know from other sources? What details of background, history, and social context help you understand this text’s perspective? How have things changed or remained the same since the text’s publication? What allusions (references to people, events, and so on) does the writer use? Why?
Page 9-- #3 • Evaluate the reasoning and support. Is the reasoning clear and logical? Are the examples and other supporting details appropriate and enlightening? Are inferences (what the text implies) consistent with the tone and message? (Look especially for hidden logic and irony that undercut what is said explicitly.)
Page 9--#4 Reflect on how the reading challenges you. Which of your beliefs and values does the reading call into question? What discomfort does it create? Does your own perspective skew your evaluation?
