Learning Outcome:

Analyze college-level/academic texts by critically evaluating information and applying it to students’ own arguments as evidence.

Directions:

As I mentioned earlier this week, our first unit will focus on education. In this article, “Learning to Read,” Malcolm X reflects on his experience with reading, a big component of education.

Please read the article carefully. If it helps, and you have the ability, feel free to print and annotate it. If not, I suggest taking notes as you read.

Step 1:

Before you start reading though, check out the video below. It’s only 2 minutes long, and it provides some really useful information on annotating. The better you annotate, the better you understand the article. Give it a try!

Step 2:

Once you have seen the video, it’s time to put it into practice. Read the article below:

“Learning to Read” by Malcolm X

Step 3:

After reading and annotating, please work to put your thoughts together by completing this Annotation Worksheet.

• Download the Word Doc version of the Annotation Worksheet, fill in your answers, save it to your device, and upload your completed worksheet. Follow the steps below in the Submission Instructions to submit your worksheet.
