Carson Newman College: Critical Reading of an Essay's Argument

Curated by ACT

Extensive examination of what it means to critically read an argument. This process is sometimes called "critical reading," or "close reading," or "active reading." First the differences between reading to extract information and reading critically are discussed. It then describes five general stages of reading needed for reading critically, including pre-reading, interpretive reading, critical reading, synoptic reading, and post-reading. Each of these are extensively discussed. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.8
