Reflection on reading/interpreting strategies

Write an nearing-end-of-semester reflection on what you have learned about how to approach, read, and interpret texts, and what you have learned about strategies for reading texts from different cultures and periods. In this reflection, you should mention at least two-three specific strategies and approaches that you can take with you beyond this class; you also need examples from at least three texts where you show how you use/have used this strategy (for example, if you talk about interpreting by comparing translations, you should actually compare two translations of a selection of text; if you discuss reading aloud, you should use an example from a text where reading aloud helped you to hear something new in the text that you missed, and what it was that you noticed through reading aloud; if you mention reading for structure, you should give an example where noting a parallel helped you to notice or understand something about the text, and what it is you understood). Include, at the end, annotations on a passage you think you will use in order to do your final creative project, using the skills you have delineated in the reflection itself. This reflection should be at least 800 words long.

This will be due by Wednesday 5/4 (in class or, if by email, by 11:59pm). Note that this is worth ten percent of your grade.
