Some questions for the other groups i have include: is your thesis supported by your evidence?, Does your thesis make a statement that can be proven or disproved?

Active Reading
When it comes to reading anything whether it be an article or a novel I usually read while in my head retaining certain key information such as the setting, characters and sometimes certain ideas  or objects that reoccur.  When it comes to annotating text i wont bother with the obvious, the obvious will be highlighted but then usually my annotation will be my understanding of what the author is trying to get across or it could be an analysis of something said. Through the use of active reading one can help understand articles no matter what the content.
