The Rhetorical Reading Module taught me that everything we do or read has a purpose. This lesson teaches how to establish a new vocabulary and also teaches on active reading strategies; These are two important things that I will use in other classes and outside of classes.
These two concepts I encountered were two things I knew were helpful if I used them. I would use them, but then stop. I have started to use these strategies again, as they are more helpful in college than they were in high school. The active reading strategies talks about doing things to grasp a better understanding of your reading. One of the strategies I find most helpful is to not bite off more than I can chew. I found this one most helpful and will use it in all of my classes because, I tend to overwhelm myself with trying to finish everything in one setting. The other strategy I would use is the reading process loop just so I know that I’m retaining the information I need. I’m also going to start a personal lexicon for my vocabulary. I will apply these strategies to majority of my classes, with these strategies I will have to change my way of thinking.
