I really believe Im doing a good job of active critical reading. If you look at the annotated samples of the articles we read for Essay #1 then you’ll see I make text-to-self, text-to-world connections in addition to connecting other texts we read. I hi-light important parts and make notes to help myself remember parts of the literatures. (See pictures of annotations below)

Next, my blog posts. When talking about Anne Hallward Safe Space podcast focused around LGBTQ teens I made a connection to Martha Hall.

“This podcast relates to Martha Halls visual story we viewed through her books because it was one story that many people could have viewed to create change, where as this one podcast in audio form could be the one story that many people would have listened to to create change.”

To make improvements for the future, I would like to focus more on diving even deeper into my text-to-world/self/text connections even deeper.
