Scene 9

Determine what a text is about  In case of a difficult/ long text, to have a sense of where the text will lead us and what we may need to understand it Under intense pressure to complete reading in short span of time

Scene 10

Look at important words To identify important words, focus on nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs; ignore articles, prepositions, or auxiliaries Check the contents pages to see how many sections there are. Check headings, images and summaries

Scene 11

Here are some keywords taken from a paragraph. Can you guess what the paragraph is about?

second class difficult no room passenger push ticket crowd book train

The pleasures of travelling The booking of tickets The problems of second class passengers

Scene 12

Identify the main argument of the following extract.

Scene 13

It is true that certain papers indulge in untruthful and sensational stories about scientific men and scientific discoveries. But there are others that do not. To classify these two kinds of newspapers together betrays a lack of careful observation, or a wrong use of the logical faculty; perhaps both. Such a proceeding is hardly worthy of a man who pretends to a strictly scientific method in his ordinary work. (Science,  Vol  XI, No 263, p.74)

Scene 14

All newspapers carry sensational stories and hence we should discard them Most newspapers carry sensational stories and we should avoid such newspapers While some newspapers carry sensational and false stories there are some which do not. So, we should not treat all newspapers in the same way

Scene 15

Human – carnivore conflict is perceived as one of the most negative interactions in wildlife and humans, owing to the direct loss of human life associated with the presence of carnivore. Wild animals killing humans is a serious issue

Scene 16

… looking at increased individual and group raiding on the crops, it is essential to put a control on the reproductive rate of these individuals to avoid long-term conflict. Since the herbivores damage crops, we need to control their population.

Scene 17

Read many texts, store information and recollect it whenever needed Synthesize information from multiple texts or bring together details from different sections/ chapters of a long text/ textbook Integrate with previous information Sometimes conflicting details  –  sort out confusions  –  build your own knowledge system

Scene 18

Read sentences from Column 1. Choose from Column 2 the sentence which is most likely to follow it

I had an interesting experience last week, when I travelled in the Grand Trunk Express from Delhi to Chennai

I often travel to Madras I had gone to Delhi for a conference A few minutes after I entered the compartment, a noisy family  –  carrying large tiffin carriers  –  entered the compartment

Scene 19

2. They opened their tiffin carriers immediately

I watched them intently I was happy that the train had started on time The baby started crying

Scene 20

Once you have a general overview of the material, read it in more detail. Take notes, add margin comments or highlight sections. Pay attention to the structure of a text to understand the writer's purpose and argument. Take notice of headings and sub-headings, of opening and closing paragraphs and of other signposts.

Scene 21

Looking at the parts to detect patterns. Analyse the arguments of the author What is the thesis or overall theory?  What are the supporting points? How do they relate to each other and to the main thesis?  What are the examples used? How do they relate to the points they support? To each other? To the thesis?

Scene 22

What rhetorical strategies are used (e.g. definition, explanation, description, narration, elaboration, argumentation, evaluation)?  What modes of analysis are used (illustration, comparison/contrast, cause and effect, process analysis, classification/division, definition)?

Scene 23

Interpretation: What do the patterns of the argument mean?

Read  ideas  as well as  sentences . Be aware of the cultural and historical context (author’s life, the context of debates within the discipline at that time and today)  What debates were the author and the text engaging with at that time?  What kinds of reasoning (historical, psychological, political, philosophical, scientific, etc.) are employed?  What methodology is employed and what theory is developed?
