EXERCISE 9.5: THINKING CRITICALLY

Choose a text you have been assigned to read for a class. Read it over carefully, annotating the material, and then write a one- or two-paragraph summary of the contents. Then analyze your summary. Did your annotations help you summarize? Why, or why not? Does your summary interpret the material or aim for an objective stance? What does your summary omit from the original material, and how did you decide what to leave out?
