    Study Notes

    Critical Thinking and Reading

    • Critical thinking involves looking for ways of thinking
    • Critical reading is a higher level of reading that analyzes and interprets the reading material to identify logical ideas and connections of ideas

    Components of Critical Thinking

    • Getting the main idea: involves identifying the central message of a text, which may be explicitly or implicitly stated
    • Summarizing: gives a brief statement of the main points of something or something you just read
    • Inferring: involves using reasoning or evidence to derive or conclude something
    • Drawing conclusions: means concluding or getting at the ultimate meaning of things
    • Analyzing sequence: involves analyzing the order of events or steps in a process

    Types of Sequence of Events

    • Chronological sequence: the arrangement of events based on the time they occurred
    • Instructional sequence: presents information in a step-by-step order, often used in recipes and instruction manuals

    Determining Fact from Opinion

    • Fact (objective): an idea that is already proven or is obviously true
    • Opinion (subjective): an unverified idea that may or may not prove to be true

    Understanding Cause and Effect

    • Involves identifying the event that causes another event
    • Cause and effect passages usually focus on explaining the reason why something occurs or occurred

    Comparing and Contrasting

    • Comparing: determining how things are the same
    • Contrasting: determining how things are different

    Identifying the Problem and Solution

    • Involves discussing complex issues and identifying the solution

    Claim and Its Forms

    • A claim is a single statement that makes a point
    • Three forms of claims:
      • Claim of Fact: a statement of something that has existed, exists, or will exist
      • Claim of Value: a claim based on preference, such as likes or dislikes (good or bad)
