    CRITICAL READING AS

    LOOKING FOR WAYS


    OF THINKING
    CRITICAL READING
    - Is engaging yourself in a text or any
    material that you are reading. Although
    the word “ critical” means to express
    criticism or disapproval about something
    like a book, movie, or piece of art ,etc,..
    Critical reading does not necessarily mean
    that you have to be “critical” of something
    that you read.
    CRITICAL THINKING
    -is the ability to think clearly
    and rationally , and the ability
    to understand the relation of
    ideas presented.
    CHARACTERISTICS OF A CRITICAL
    THINKER:
    1. Understand the relation of one idea to another.
    2. Determines the importance and relevance of
    ideas.
    3. Recognizes , builds and appraises arguments.
    4. Identifies inconsistencies and errors in
    reasoning.
    5. Approaches problems in a consistent and
    systematic way.
    6. Reflects on the justification of his own
    assumptions, beliefs and values.
    CRITICAL READING STRATEGIES
    1. ANNOTATING
    - Is the first strategy that you can use as a
    critical reader.
    - Annotating – is underlining or highlighting the
    important ideas or points in a text like thesis
    statement , topic sentence , supporting details
    body of the material and the conclusion.
    CRITICAL READING STRATEGIES
    2. CONTEXTUAL READING
    - A reader studies the author of the text, the
    time or period when the author wrote it and
    the important events that occurred during the
    time the text was written.
    -
    CRITICAL READING STRATEGIES
    3. OUTLINING
    -Is an overview of a document in which
    information and ideas are arranged according
    hierarchy- the main idea being at the top
    followed by the rest of the supporting ideas or
    subtopics.
    CRITICAL READING STRATEGIES
    4. SUMMARIZING
    - Is the condensing or writing of a material in the
    readers own words. It is shorter than the
    original text , but contains the important ideas
    or information that a reader needs to know so
    that he can understand and analyze the reading
    material.
    CRITICAL READING STRATEGIES
    5. PARAPHRASING
    - Is putting or writing a text in your own words
    but maintaining the original information as
    given by the author. What you do when
    paraphrasing is not to change what is said ,
    but to change how it is said to make you
    understand better what you have read.
    CRITICAL READING STRATEGIES
    6. COMPARING AND CONTRASTING
    COMPARING - is naming the similarities.
    CONTRASTING- is naming their diferrences.
    CRITICAL READING STRATEGIES
    7. EVALUATING an ARGUMENT
    - A critical reader must not accept anything on
    face value; instead , he or she must evaluate
    whether the claim or the argument that the
    author is presenting is true and can be
    supported by evidence.
