My diary 13/6/2013 - week 2

Today I studied the introduction to Critical Reading. At first Aj.Usa showed us the Mona Lisa's picture the painting of Leonardo da Vinci's on the projector. And then she asked us to look at the picture and analyze the Mona Lisa's picture for 5 minutes and let us shared the ideas to everyone in the class. I also shared the idea of the picture for my idea, "I think she looks so sad cause I can see from her eyes. The background is so darkness and the sky is so cloudy, it's a symbol of the sadness." After we shared the ideas, she gave us the paper of the introduction to Critical Reading and let us read the text about the Leonado da Vinci's painting Mona Lisa more. In the text tells us about we should reading the text as when we are reading the painting and how to analyze the painting. It tells us that we shouldn't believe everything that the author writing and we can analyze and find the argument in the text. After we read the text, Aj.Usa gave us the quiz about the critical reading  and why we need to take a critical approach to reading, It was quite difficult for me to answer those questions. I should get more practice for the critical reading and read more the texts. Today I think it was a very nice lesson because I could shared my idea to everyone and practiced me to analyze from the picture that I haven't done it before.
