Module 3 Discussions - Reading as a
Doubter
'Reading against the grain' means reading with
a skeptical eye. You 'resist' the author by questioning assumptions,
statements, evidence, credentials, and/or logic. This is the way we 'read'
advertisements and public relations materials such as political campaign news
releases, where we have a reason to suspect bias. Reading against the grain is
reading as a doubter. This exercise lets you practice reading against the
grain.
1. Read Chapter 5, pages
92-98 (Ramage, et al.). Then read the short excerpt by Annie Dillard in the
'Practicing Strong Response Reading Strategies' box on page 109.
2. In 3-5 sentences,
write your immediate reaction to her statement. Choose an image in her excerpt
that you reacted particularly strongly to. Describe the image and your
reaction; post your description.
3. Return to the
discussion later in the week and read some of your classmates' responses. Did
others choose the same image you did? Did they react in the same way, or were
their reactions different from yours?
