Ann Raimes Introduction

I felt that Ann Raimes had some very good strategies. I think that everyone has been told that this is the way that you should write a paper and that this is the way you should read it so you can better understand it. But I think that everyone cannot learn the same way, just because a simple tip or strategy worked for someone doesnt mean its going to work for others. Everyone has there own way of learning and I think that people stick to whats going to help them instead of ok this woman is an expert and her tips sound good and what she has said must be true so I will do it.

Some of the things that I agree with were when she gave the startegy on previewing when you are reading an article or book. I think that everyone has previewed or skimmed through an article that they had to read for a class or something because we dont actually read the whole thing word for word and try to understand it especially if it is a new topic to us.

When I read I do try to have an open mind, mostly when it is a topic I am new to. I was a bit confused on the point she was trying to make, sometimes i felt that her point was that people need to enjoy reading we should be active readers and sometimes i felt that she was trying to say that this is the way that you are supposed to read and write critically. But still I feel that everyone learns in their own way.
