Write your reaction: When you finish reading,
immediately start writing down your reactions to the story, the book, or
the chapter from the book you needed to read. Write about what seems
important, what you think the purpose of the writing was, and how it
made you feel as a reader. You don't need to summarize it for a
response, but you might find it helpful to summarize in general if it
will help you remember what you've read more.
- Don't write whether or not you liked the story, or whether you
thought it was "boring." Instead, focus on how it made you feel. Your
first response might be, "I didn't like this story, because Juliet dies
at the end," but think about why you feel that way. Why would it have
been better if she had lived? Would it have? What might Shakespeare have
been trying to say? Why did he kill her off? This is a much more
interesting reaction now.
