Questions to Ask Yourself as You Read
This is a very important thing to remember. You must always ask questions. But sometimes, it's hard to know which questions to ask. So, I'm glad this is here to remind you of the simple questions, they don't need to be the most intricate questions.
Choose a method of annotation that works best for you and that will make sense when you go back to recollect your thoughts and responses to the essay
Im glad the writing mentions this. More specifically, it mentions to use an annotation method that works best for you and makes sense to you. There are so many different styles. What is most important is that you choose a way to annotate that when you go back you know exactly why you highlighted it.
To g e t t h e m o s t o u t o f y o u r reading, follow the five steps of the reading process
I often read for my own enjoyment and entertainment so when it comes to having to active read it is very different. I'm glad there is a reminder of the steps here to show that it does take a little more time but, active reading is simple once you get the hang of it and have had practice.
Most of us have been taught to read for ideas. Not many of us, however, have been trained to read ac-tively, to engage a writer and his or her writing, to ask why we like one piece of writing and not another.
Reading a text is different from reading a book. You have to learn how to not only read for entertainment. Reading a text is having to analyze and process all the information so that we can understand writing style and reasoning for the order and formation of the text.
Similarly, most of us do not ask our-selves why one piece of writing is more convincing than another. When you learn to read actively, you begin to answer these important questions and come to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in writing
Actively reading is all about questions. Instead of reading the text to gain knowledge, you would read to to continue getting new information that wasn't there when you read it the first time. I like how they define active reading in this text because of how similar it is to active listening. It's all about precessing and actually thinking about the reasoning behind it.

It is important to learn how to truly analyze a text and figure out what are the key points that you're supposed to be focusing on. Active reading is important when it comes to writing about a specific reading.
