Previewing

__Opener:__ I think "preview a reading" means to look over the reading. Like if you look over the headlines or some font that pop out the most, you should understand what the reading is. I think it is helpful to preview before reading because it might help to know little parts of what the reading is all about. Big font size words can give you some of the gist of what the reading might lead to. For example, a novel or a book, we might just read the summary because we want to know what the book is all about.

 * Activity 2.7 **


 * Attempt to ascertain the topic and subtopics of your reading

It seems more of an analysis on a site like completely the whole image of the site. There is a alot of inferences as well. For the previewing model, I think there might be more because when I look at the site, I know there might be more and it is an article made by one person and the site is public to anyone who gets it so it must have more to give to us, or it's just a simple article telling their side. There are inferences, questions, stating out of what is there, and maybe an analysis on a visual. I think the left side is like jotting out the thoughts on the headlines and theright side is actually looking through the reading and to see if there are any flaws that might be one-sided or see if the writer of the article is giving something personally.
