The first hotspot I found is on page 153. “ To develop the kind of academic research skills you will need for success in college, you should take purposeful notes as you read.” This hot spot is saying in order to do your best possible to take important notes as you read. It only takes five extra minutes and will help you retain extra information that will help you succeed. I chose this as my first hotspot because I need work taking notes when I read. I think if i take the time when reading and I take notes I will be able to remember the information longer. I think it will also help save time in the long run because if I take notes I can look at those instead of taking time to re-read my whole paper. This is important for learning tips for all of the essays we will be writing for english and in life for the long run. It will help me to remember things, and it will also help me when writing papers to look back at notes and make sure I am doing everything correctly.
The second hot spot I chose is found on page 155. “ Your exploratory essay records the history of your research and thinking process.” This is telling what an exploratory essay is, the main focus is to not persuade and audience but to record information. I chose this to remind me I am not trying to persuade an audience, I thought that was what I was supposed to do before reading this. Now I know to only give information about my topic I will be researching and to teach my audience about it but not to be biased while doing it. This new insight is important in order to stay on task during this essay and to get the best grade I can . This will keep me on track and always remind me the task at hand is to inform the audience not to try and persuade them in anyway during the exploratory essay I will be writing in the near future.
