Each of the thematic sections is a discussion about a different subject. Look through the different subjects and choose one that appeals to you. Read all of the articles on that subject/topic. While reading, read actively. This means you must read slowly, rereading difficult passages and taking notes on questions and ideas that cross your mind. You will need a highlighter and a pen. While reading, highlight passages from the texts and write notes next to them. These notes can be any of your thoughts, whether you agree, disagree, have questions, or qualifications. Write three quotes that you highlighted. Note the article, author, and page number. After the quote, write down your notes or thoughts about the passage. The point of this assignment is to find out what you might have to add to the conversation. It will help you come up with possible claims in your next assignment.
