RL2 Key Ideas and Details: Determine two or more themes or central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to produce a complex account; provide an objective summary of the text.
The purpose of writing summaries/rhetorical precis is prove that we are able to pick out the main points and/or ideas from a text. Writing the summaries/rhetorical precis also prove that we have read the text instead of just guessing what the text was able. In this assignment, the aspects that I believe I did well was figuring out what the author's overall argument or point was and picking out main points supporting the argument. I do have to improve on identifying the supporting points; I tend to forgot one or two. I can improve on that by making sure to read the text more carefully and to annotate the text as I am reading. |
