Journal 2

In your opinion, what is close reading? What is its purpose? Are you learning anything about writing, or yourself, as you engage in close reading for Inquiry I?

To me a close reading is analyzing a text and coming to our own conclusions. Close reading is analyzing text in depth to look past just the words and make some great observations. The purpose is to bring more meaning to the writing. I am definitely learning more about my writing because I am looking much more closely. I am seeing the patterns and my style of writing more and more.
