Today, you analyzed a Shakespearean reading (actively)
This was a difficult reading so you were reminded that you must follow the steps involved in active reading
o read italics carefully
o highlight key information
o Don’t stop reading a passage at the end of a line but only when indicated by periods, commas, semicolons, etc (these should be highlighted)
o paraphrase – for Shakespeare this is done a lot and is a MUST to comprehension
o highlight, look up and define words they do not understand
o Look for and identify figurative devices/literary terms
o summarize the whole reading at the end (all of this right on the page).
