My example for the Reading Literacy objective is reading the novel, Invisible Man. Throughout the journey of reading Invisible Man we’ve done pre-reading, reading, and post-reading activities and applied strategies from all three activities to other assignments. The second bullet of the reading literacy objective states “To apply pre-reading, during reading, and post-reading strategies to all reading assignments, including determining purpose and pre-reading vocabulary.” Before reading Invisible Man we read a multitude of different works of literature to better understand the time period in which the book had taken place. We also took notes during our reading and discussed our findings with the class as a whole. After reading, we completed…

At the turn of the millennium, hurricanes, tropical storms, and dramatic temperatures ruled planet Earth. In the 2004 Hurricane season, four storms affected Florida which is the only time in recorded history a catastrophe like this has happened. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc in the New Orleans area, bringing over one hundred billion dollars of damages; making thousands of people homeless, mostly minorities, and killing many others. The Federal Government, unprepared for this unforeseen tragedy, was slow to respond, leaving people on rooftops begging for help, with no sustenance for survival. Shelby Steele, a research fellow and political commentator, from “Witness: Blacks, Whites, and the Politics of Shame in America,” The Wall Street Journal, doesn’t blame the Federal Government for the catastrophic results the hurricane had on minorities, mostly African Americans. Steele believes the hurricane exposed the underdevelopment of African American people as a society, and should take this as an opportunity to believe them. Other people, such as professor of Political Science, Adolph Reed, and professor of sociology Stephen Steinberg, at the University of Pennsylvania and Queens College respectively , believe Hurricane Katrina did expose racism in the America. I, personally agree with Reed and Steinberg, Hurricane Katrina did expose racism in America based on the responses from people high in power, the slow response of the U.S. Federal, government, and future projects for the New Orleans area.…

I look at is as the tools to my trade and to not fully comprehend the text means that I can’t fully accomplish my goal of getting a degree.…
I currently approach the reading in the course very cautiously. When reading any of the material in or out of class, I take my time. It is important to do so because by going to quick, there is a chance of missing some of the material. By reading slowly I can assure myself that I have better chance of taking in more information. Also by removing myself from any distractions, I can concentrate harder on the things that I am reading. Preparing for my reading sessions in advance helps to optimize my chance of greater concentration on my reading materials.…
