Study Notes
- This guide covers key aspects of reading and writing, including project proposals, critical reading, claim types, text relationships, assertions, and literary reviews.
Writing a Project Proposal
- Project proposals are formal, persuasive documents.
- They aim to convince the reader to support a proposed project.
- Key components include a clear problem statement, proposed solution, methodology, and budget.
- A well-written proposal demonstrates the project's value and feasibility.
Critical Reading
- This goes beyond simply understanding the text.
- It involves actively analyzing and evaluating the information presented.
- Critical readers question assumptions, identify biases, and assess the validity of arguments.
- They also consider the text's purpose, audience, and context.
Kinds of Claims
- Claims are statements that the author wants the audience to accept.
- Claims of Fact: assert that something is true or false, using evidence for support.
- Claims of Value: argue whether something is good or bad, right or wrong, or desirable or undesirable, based on certain standards.
- Claims of Policy: advocate for a specific course of action or solution.
Context, Intertext, Hypertext, Reference
- Context: the circumstances surrounding a text that influence its meaning.
- Intertext: refers to the relationship between texts, where one text references, incorporates, or responds to another.
- Hypertext: a non-linear way of presenting information, allowing readers to navigate through linked documents.
- Reference: the act of mentioning or alluding to something.
Four Common Types of Assertion
- Fact: a statement that can be proven true or false with objective evidence.
