  • Actively connect with the text
1. Remember that each of us only has our perspective; thus, we need diverse people to engage with in order to access to the best ideas and most accurate understanding of truths.

2. Locate the author's claims for each paragraph or section, and then look for how the author supports that claim: facts, data, examples, logic, other sources.

3. Think about what you already know about the topic or claim in order to make connections between what you know and the new claim or claim support you read.

4. Constantly search for connections: from ideas from other classes or texts, personal experiences, etc.
