QW#1:
1. What are my current reading skills?
- My current reading skills can be scanning the text, skimming through the text, and detailed reading. Scanning is a skill which I and many people use to find particular words or phrases that they need to find. Skimming however, is quite different. It is a kind of skill which people use to preview the text's detail or background. Detailed reading is to extract information accurately so that you can understand it. People often use this when reading texts.
2. How can I improve and grow as a reader?
- A good way I think to improve or grow as a reader is to keep reading continuely. Just as you need to keep working out in sports to get better, you need to keep reading so that your mind can get used to reading in many different skills. Also, reading harder levels might allow you to improve your reading skills because you will learn harder levels of words, grammar, structure, etc.
3. What purpose can literature serve in my life?
- Literature can help me communicate my thoughts in many different ways other than just using your mouth, face expression, body language, etc. For some people like me who really don't like to take a speech in front of lots of people would have an easier moment communicating. Also, literature may allow us to gain new knowledge that others didn't know.
4. What resources can I find in the library that will help me in this course and other courses?
- Online resources, books, librarians, internet, and many more things can help us in this course and other courses. Not only using on source, but using a variety of resources might help you gain more information and different kinds of perspectives.
Good initial thoughts. How does literature help you give better speeches?
