1) The process for consuming the text for me is to read it and take notes
as I go through on Google docs. The reason for this is because there is a lot
of information and since I have to summarize it later, it is good to be jotting
down notes, quotations, unusual words, and key phrases for later. This also
helps me keep a map of where in the text something was said so that I can go
back if needed. If this text was more in a story format, genre, I wouldn’t need
to use this technique, but because of its nature, no matter the interesting information,
I will get bored and drift off if not concentrating fully.
2) I briefly looked up on a slide show about how to annotate a piece. It
gave me some useful and non useful information. Connecting the text to myself,
the text, and the world was useful. Looking for the plot of a character’s
actions wasn’t that helpful.
3) This text helped me because it connected with the text we read in class
last time about genre theory. For example, the author of the text I read made
reference to the fact that defining genres is difficult because they are
dynamic, changing, and a social communication tool.
