The University of Pittsburgh's Writing Center will host "International Café: A Café for Critical Reading" as the first meeting of this series for international students.
Has your instructor ever said, “don’t summarize the reading; instead analyze it?” How does a person read analytically? And why do so? In fact, those questions—how and why—are two keys to reading analytically, critically, creatively, and actively.The workshop runs from 3:30 to 4:30 pm in the Writing Center, located at 317B O'Hara Student Center (map). It is free and open to Pitt students.
This session will introduce crucial steps in reading for the purpose of writing about a text. You are invited to bring us a text (essay, poem, story, or some other) that your course requires you to write about, or one that you want to write about, and you’ll get the practice you need to read—analytically, creatively, critically, and actively.
This session is facilitated by Marylou Gramm.
