Scholarly text reflection
My scholarly text “How useful is plastination in learning anatomy” was written by a group of researchers. Some elements that helped me comprehend the text was the vocabulary because it was anatomy terminology that is in my anatomy and physiology class. What also helped me was the texts formation because it was in order from the experiment that was taken place. I was also familiar with the tables and charts in the article as well.
Some key ideas from the text that i understood was the type of experiment that was being made along with why and what it was for. I also knew what plastination was because of the surrounding vocabulary that helped me figure out what it meant, it means the hands on work with materials and cadavers. I believe that the plastination works well with learning anatomy or any subject with students learning about it. These contribute because it all relates back to anatomy and the human body and the subject of the article.
One place that confused me or provokes a question is the tables and charts. There are some words and numbers on them that don’t make sense because I don’t know what they refer to. Although i understand most of the table and its data, I don’t fully get it. A strategy I could use to address my confusion with is to reread the text that talks about the tables and charts, then go over the tables and charts again. If i still can’t figure out my confusion I would ask my teacher for help or from an expert.
