Rosenberg Reading

                                                       Summary
   Rosenberg starts this article by describing her early years in college and how she had trouble staying focused on her reading assignments, like many people do. But somewhere down the road, she figured out how to make those reading assignments enjoyable so she could stay focused, and she shares her thoughts of how to make reading interesting in hopes of helping other people find reading enjoyable too. She starts by stating to think of the audience because once you know who the paper is for ou can get your state of mind together to make the paper easier to understand. The best way to find out who the paper is intended for is to look at the source or the title. She also says to look at the abstract which is a paragraph befor the introduction. It usually uses big words, but if you can understand the abstract, it will give you insight into what the paper is about. Also, she says that you shouldn't always read the paper in order. Starting with the introduction and then reading the conclusion can also give you a better idea of what the paper is about. Scanning over the section headings will also help. Putting this all together will change your viewpoint on reading assignments and will hopefully help you understand them better.

                                                      Discussion
       1.  Two strategies that i know that I have used in the past are reading the introduction, and reading the section headings. I feel that both of these strategies worked well in helping me understand the paper i was reading. I would reccomend my friends use these strategies because the introduction and section headings give good insight into what the paper was about. I will use these the next time i read a paper.

     2.  I feel like the author Rosenberg that when reading an article, you should imagine yourself having a conversation with the author of that paper. This way you will be looking fo the answers to the questions you are asking, and may make the paper more intriguing.

      1.   I found this reading interesting. What i found interesting were the ways she described that could help one understand what they are reading. I am excited to try these strategies the next time I am assigned a difficult reading.
