What kind of texts are you reading and what do you want to learn from them?

before you start reading

what kind of text will you be reading?

what do you already know about the subject?

different ways to read

- do you want the big picture?

- are you lokking for an answer?

- do you want to know all the details?

predicting

intensive reading

- you want to know the details, the arguments, the connections

critical reading

- what are the facts or the opinions?
