Raimes' "strategies for critical reading" are useful, even if they're probably nothing new to most people who have read anything that has challenged them. It may be a rehashing of ideas, but they're not bad ideas. Most of her strategies are things I think a lot of people do instinctively when reading. Which makes the reading of her introduction dull, even if the information is accurate.
I had the same reaction to her writing strategies. Nothing new, but still useful information, which she communicated clearly.
You need to write more for your posts, Ike.
ReplyDeleteHopefully subsequent readings will inspire you more. I will concede that the Raimes' piece isn't exactly a page-turner.
