  4. "what is good reading"?

    The notion of multiple, constructed representations also helps us understand a
    recurring frustration for college teachers: the problem of "good" readers who appear to miss the point or who seem unable or unwilling to read critically(Haas & flower,1988,p.169)

    They can identify topic sentences, introductions and
    conclusions, generalizations and supporting details(Haas & flower,1988,p.170)

    To interpret any sophisticated text seems to require not only careful reading
    and prior knowledge, but the ability to read the text on several levels, to
    build multi-faceted representations.

    We felt that in this way we could elicit the
    full range of constructive strategies these readers could call upon when the situation
    demanded (Haas& flower,1988,p.171)

    paraphrased:
    the students don't get the point & it frustrates the teachers ( Haas & Flower, 1988)
    The strategies the readers use to find clues in the stories (Haas & Flower, 1988)
    The ability they have to identify different texts (Haas, 1988)
    The different strategies the readers use for any situation (Haas, 1988)

  5. strategies for Constructing Meaning:

    "Each protocol contained two kinds of verbalizations: actual reading of the text aloud and comments in which the readers were thinking aloud"(Haas & Flower,1988, p. 174).

    Haas & Flower (1988) there're two kinds of verbalizations one is reading the text aloud and the other is thinking aloud.

    Function/feature strategies were used to refer to conventional, generic functions of texts, or conventional features of discourse.
    Rhetorical strategies they are concerned with constructing a rhetorical situation for the text, trying to account for author's purpose, context, and effect on the audience.

  6. Direct Quotation
    “In order to learn something about the construction of meaning by readers, we observed and analyzed the strategies of ten readers”
    (Haas & Flower, 1988, p. 171).

    Paraphrase
    The way to learn something is using strategies we have learned from others and watching how it is done.

    Small summary
    They saw that the academic topic was unfair to the less experienced students compared to those who were familiar to the strategy. To the less experienced students it is hard to interpret with high information.

  7. Group 2 (INTRO)
    Paola M., Jennifer C. David V.
    Notes:
    -reading should be thought as a constructive not receptive process
    -meaning does not exist in text, but build by the readers and representations.
    -reading used a strategy called rhetorical reading "an active attempt at constructing a rhetorical context for the text as a way of making sense of it."
    Direct Quote:
    "The current text, prior texts, and the reading context can exert varying degrees of influence on this process, but it is the reader who must integrate information into meaning" (Haas & Flowers, 1988, pg. 168).

    Paraphrase:
    In the passage both authors are expressing that everyone can read a book, but if the reader doesn't understand or has any knowledge then he will not benefit from the story (Haas & Flowers, 1988).
