What answers does the writer provide to the questions that interest you? 3. Of those questions and answers, which ones are particularly germane to your interests? Why? 4.Are there any critical vocabulary terms or catch phrases the writer uses? What are they? 5.Are there any critical examples or case studies the writer uses? What are they? 6. Any statistics/images/charts/maps you want to remember for your own work? 7. Are there any lingering questions you find yourself with after reading this text? Material that feels unclear, still? Points of view , geographical, or historical perspectives that you need to engage with in your work that this writer doesn't quite get at in the material you have read?
