(Review Guidelines For Sears& Cairns, A Good Book, In Theory )

To read critically is to makejudgments about how a text is argued. This is a highly reflective skillrequiring you to “stand back” and gain some distance from the textyou are reading. You might have to read a text through once to get a basicgrasp of content before you launch into intensive critical reading. Don’t justlook for isolated facts and examples, no matter how interesting they may be.Look for the large patterns that give purpose, order, and meaning to theexamples used by the author(s). The opening sentences of paragraphs can beimportant to this task. THE KEY IS THIS: Read looking for ways of thinkingabout the subject matter. Don’t read looking only or primarily for information.When you are reading, highlighting, or taking notes, avoid extracting andcompiling lists of evidence, lists of facts and examples. Avoid approaching atext by asking “What information can I get out of it?” Rather ask”How does this text work? How is it argued? How is the evidence (thefacts, examples, etc.) used and interpreted? How does the text reach itsconclusions? Note those places in a text where an author states assumptions,defines the concepts she/he uses and/or how she/he uses them, how she/he arrivesat conclusions and explains her/his analysis.

1. What is(are) the topic(s) ofeach chapter? Determine the central claims or purpose of the chapter bydescribing what is covered. Also, note the thesis or thesis statement(s). Givespecific page numbers where you locate specific points. Note and highlight thekey terms and ideas in the chapter(s). Find definitions/usages for terms; thatis, explain the term and/or idea and give specific examples. Don’t just providea list, but rather note the terms and include an example in your notation. Forthe “Preface” provide a summary and ignore 2 and 3 below.

2. Identify the conclusion orgoal of the chapter(s)? If you quote directly from a source, use the quotationcritically. This means that you should not substitute the quotation for yourown articulation of a point. Rather, introduce the quotation by laying out thejudgments you are making about it, and the reasons why you are using it. Oftena quotation is followed by some further analysis.

3. Respond to the “thinkingpoints” presented in the chapter. (At least one for each chapter). Note that alist of these is found on the page (vii.) after the contents. Respond to theprompt or the questions in the “thinking point;” you may use personal examplesor anecdotes when applicable. When you begin to think about how you mightrespond to a portion of a text – where you find a thinking point or an argument– try to remain aware of how this “thinking point” fits into the argument madein the text from which it is taken. Whenever possible, apply this to anexperience in your life. If there is no “thinking point,” you may omit thisitem.

Conclude your submission with acomplete bibliographic reference to the text.
