Joe Harris’s article “Coming to Terms” is a passage about strategic methods on how to use texts and get the best out of them. Also, it’s full of advice on how to annotate, paraphrase, quote etc. When we are reading or using someone else’s work. Joe Harris gives the three main points on what a writer/ reader should do and what they should think about when interpreting someone else’s text. The three key points he described in his article were, rewriting texts to get better understand of what you’re reading, “Defining the project of a Writer”, and “Noting Keywords and Passages”. Again, he describes these methods and gives the reader advice on how to annotate and how to fully understand what you’re reading.
