Close/Active Reading


Close/active reading: active engagement with the text, that requires purposeful reading and rereading with a pen and a dictionary, which lends itself to exploring and developing approaches to writing assignments. 

                                                 General Guidelines for Active Reading:
-read a passage/paragraph before commenting/ marking it up
-mark key and unfamiliar words/phrases and look them up in a dictionary or reference book
-write questions and observations in the margins
-marking up text in this manner is also known as annotating text
