Barbara Fowler has compiled a great deal
of practical information about critical thinking and critical reading.The
last definition on the list characterizes a critical reader. Carefully
examine Schumm and Post's list with two things in mind: 1. Does this describe
you as a reader? Which attributes do you have? Which do you lack? Why do
you need any of them? 2. Does the label in the margin system encourage
critical reading? Specifically how?

2. Which of the attributes do you
have?
3. Which do you lack?
4. In one or two complete sentences explain
why you need these attributes.
5. Does the label in the margin system encourage
critical reading?
In two or threecomplete sentences explain how the
label in the margin system encourages critical reading. Be very specific in
your examples.
