This is an assignment Joy Palmer at College of Western Idaho adapted from Teaching English in the Two Year College 37.4. (See some more details at the bottom of the handout.) She used it successfully in English 090 but imagines it would be good for Plus or regular 101 students. In its current form, students were required to do this for every reading in the class, but it could be adapted in a number of ways—used for specific readings, done in groups in class, pared down and connected with other reading strategies.
