The main idea of Chapter 46 "Writing in the text" is to aid the reader to summarize text or pictures. Summarizing is the ability to point out the main thesis and key points simply and accurately as possible. According to the author “summarizing a text one must be able to pick out the thesis divide the whole piece into major and minor ideas and analyze what the author is trying to say” While summarizing what you just read is being able to doing it in a none judging way and helps to shows that you understood what the author was trying to state. The ability to be an active reader you must use critical thinking. Taking notes in the margins and rereading the text over again may aid you in this ability. Analyzing what your reading or what you see is another key point and asking questions like what is the author trying to argue or what is he/she trying to point out?
The two ways that I plan on aiding myself in future reading is to annotating the text, I plan on using a pencil in the margin instead of a highlighter because the ability to change what I write is just as important as what you’re reading. Like the authors says you might find something that interests you, but later you might change your mind and a pencil lets you do that. I will right question to aid me to find key points and underling interesting facts or statement throughout the piece.
I will also outline the texts to aid my in memorizing what I have read and to have a better understand of what I just read.
