Reading was used as a way to derive meaning from a variety of
texts, such as the chapters in the textbook, website material,
script on slides, handouts or posted reading on Blackboard, and an
auto/biography. Meaning was expected to be extracted within the
framework of your prior knowledge, additional research, and
personal experience. a. Regarding
meanings of wellness and health, persons with disabilities, and
recreation what were the most helpful types of text you read in the
course? What type of text could be added to improve the goal of
gaining meaning from what you
read. b. Regarding the
framework of getting the meaning from the text, comment on how your
prior knowledge, any additional research, and personal experiences
added to understanding of what was read. Give examples if
possible.
One element in critical reading is the evaluation of what is
being read. The critical reader considers written words from
various perspectives; comment on any examples of your reading
skills regarding these qualities over the semester: accuracy,
reliability, appropriateness, underlying meanings, intentions,
agendas, assumptions, priorities; choosing important
ideas/thoughts
Questioning what is being read is another element of critical
reading. Describe your improvement in developing appropriate
questions while reading throughout the semester.
Putting the text into the context or proper background is also
helpful in becoming a skillful critical reader. Tell some ways that
you connected the written language with contexts such as prior
experience or other classes or knowledge connected to the
topic.
Reflecting on what you read and making connections is another
element for critical reading. Give some examples of thoughtful
processing of ideas by thinking about the text and making
connections that add to the understanding of what is read.
