Here are some questions to consider when thinking about a reading set within an academic context, in preparation for writing paper:
-What is the author trying to say?
-What does the author give to support his/her position? Is that evidence persuasive? Is it backed up by appropriate citations of reliable or defensible sources?
-What intellecutual arguments does the author present? Are those arguments persuasive?
-What rhetorical strategies does the author guse to get you to agree with his/her positon? To what extent are these rhetorical strategies appealing to your emotions rather than your intellect and what effect does this have on the quality or value of the appeal?
-What theories does the author appear to draw on? What effects does the theorectical framing fo the text hav on the author’s argument?
-What assumptions and values can you identify in the reading? To what extent are these assumptions and values applicable to a range of contexts?
-What aspects of the subject or topic does the reading address? What elements does it omit that should have been included?
-What aspects of the subject does the author emphasez? Why?
-Who is the author of the reading? What do you know about this person, either from internal evidence or external sources?
-What is the author’s relation to the subject matter discussed in the reading? How is this established in the text? What stake does the author (appear to) have in the subject matter? How does this affect your interpretation of the reading?
-To what extent do you trust the author’s conclusions? On what do you base your judgement?
-What would you consider to be the reading’s most significant weakness–if any? Does this weakness change your evaluation of other aspects of the reading? Is it indicative of a systematic flaw or a consistent bias? Does is affect your evaluation of the author’s conclusions?
-What additional questions does the reading raise? To what extent should these have been addressed–or at least identifiedo–in the text?
