I figure this is the best place to ask this on 4chan, but it still probably won't do very well. Anyway, here goes.
I've just started taking Eng 102 over the summer because I can't avoid it any longer. Don't get me wrong, I love reading, but I'm not very good at what the the course calls "Active Reading;" constantly challenging and commenting on what the author is saying. I guess I'm a better passive reader, since I read for pleasure.
Well, the teacher highly recommends highlighting and annotating the literature to become a better active reader. I've got a vague idea on how to do this, so I've started marking a number whenever I see some imagery, irony or other literary devices I think are important and commenting on them in my notebook.
Does anybody have any further advice on doing this?
