Do It the Right Way

Analyzing texts can be a difficult thing. Not only must you try and understand the text, you need to know how its being said. Texts have a big influence on what and how we think so it's crucial to know how to correctly analyze what we are reading.

In this reading, there is a guide to analyzing text. This guide talks of many things. The first being choosing a text to analyze. Though you willl usually be assigned a text to do, there will be times that is not that case. When that happens, it is important the text is not too large or complex to be anaylzed. Another important part discussed is generating ideas and texts. It says to skim the text and then to questiong it. This helps to get a sense of what it is saying.

Another part I found was important was taking stock of your work. This is where you answer some questions such as:

• what could have been improved?
• what would you do differently next time?
• how did you go about drafting your essay?
