These notes offer different ways into close reading. Reading Inventory asks what a title might suggest about an author’s attitude or an essay’s tone. Setting considers what surrounds a story, while Word Relationships looks at how context helps readers understand words.
For a starting point, try Reading Inventory before reading an article. Its questions can help you consider what to look for. If you are working on a written analysis, Analyzing an extract sets out a method using a point, evidence and explanation.
