Here is the Reading for Analysis sheet we used in class when reading Colson Whitehead’s “Colossus of New York.”
Reading for Analysis-Taking Notes
Actively reading and keeping notes will help you remember what you read and also make referencing your paper in your own essays a much easier task. Remember: these are just preliminary questions to get you started. As active readers, good writers annotate and write in the margins of the reading selection in addition to taking notes.
For those interested in Colson Whitehead, visit his website and/or find his book of essays, Colossus of New York: A City in 13 Parts in the City Tech library.
