For this task we was asked to read a article on the ‘Reading Media Theory’, There is certain techniques you picked up as you read in university there was a few examples in the article that we read and that was quite helpful that I wrote them down so I remember.

1, pre-read- Means pre read before you take notes of the work or book that you reference and scan reading it

2, read- means you read or print the work and read how you can read whether it be skim read or highlight the main points of the book or article.

3, analyse what you read- is going over what you have highlighted whether it be your print or photocopy of the article you are referencing

4, remember what’s important- remembering what you think is the important part of the paper you are reading.

5, make use of what you read- use what you have read has part of your research

and 6, evaluate your critical thinking skills.

These was a few examples of the article we was asked to read and write about, I seem to find it easy to skim read to start with, Only issue with that is you don’t process all the words in the book you are reading, so you have to go back to the start  and start again.

I also find it easy to photocopy the pages you found useful and go over again and highlight the key words that you want, that type it up also taking a note of the book for the bibliography at a later date so if need be you can go back to the book.

I have noticed when I get a book out at the library that someone has used pencil in the book for there note taking.
