"Workshop"

Reading Critically Jan 23, 2008

I decided to attend this particualr Workshop because it was most conviient in my schedule (sorry Beth but I'm not gonna beat around the bush.) I did learn some things thought I'm not gonna lie. I learned that when you read if you ask questions to yourself about what the author is trying to say and write then maybe it will help you understand the material more. I also learned that writing in the margrins of the book can help you get more ineractive with what you are reading. I refuse to deface my book...it has a standing chance to make me a buck and by golly I will work that book like a prastutute on Hollywook Blvd.

Anyways, I even had to paticipate in a project were I had to read a page then discuss it and figure out what they were talking about.Turns out I was so wrong but they showed my ways to see deeper into the writing. They told me that if I came across a word I didnt understand that I shouldnt skip over it but to take out a dictionary and look the word up. I found them very helpful. They let me know that if I didnt understand something or was unsure about a reading in class that I shouldnt be afriad to ask, that also gave me confidence in mysself to ask others for help.

Sincerely,
