Individual Reflection 9-24

As I make my way through readings, I typically take more time to process the information just because of the way I read. Because of this, as I go through the readings I usually rely on underlining main points and terms for me to come back to and re-read. I then write side notes or items I notice and form my own thoughts about off to the side of the paper. I also form guiding questions for me to answer with these ideas. This is the angle I come at with a lot of my history readings that are primary documents, because it takes a moment and sometimes multiple reviews to fully understand the point being presented. These tools allow me to come back to the readings at a later time to cover the main ideas on multiple occasions.
