The rhetorical reading assignment is an overview of how one should read on a college based level. Two important concepts that I’ve learned was to how to understand the meaning of the text and what actions should be taken while reading.
While reading, it is often difficult to understand the meaning of the passages that we read. These difficulties could come from unknown terminology of certain things to even not knowing the definition of words. Both problems could be solved from annotating while reading passages. It is important to be an active reader. Annotating consists of denoting unknown words and phrases and even underlining lines that may seem like context clues then come back later to handle any bumps.
Rhetorical reading consists of making sure that the text is understood. Questions that should be asked while reading is the reasoning behind it, who’s the audience, and what is it about.
