read 2 chapters and synthesize in one page
Critical and scholarly discussion of readings do not include your feelings about the author’s writing style (“I like this.”, “This is boring”, etc.) Instead, push yourself to synthesize the main ideas of the readings, identifying how they are ‘in conversation’ with one another. What are the themes across the readings? Where do these ideas diverge/do the authors appear to disagree? What questions do you have, after unpacking the readings?
