Critical Thinking Journal Entry #4

In my opinion to do something critically means to really analyze it. When I am just "reading" my text, I usually just loosely gather the information in my head. I will maybe think about a few points that stand out to me or that I find may be beneficial. But to "critically read" a text, means to thoroughly analyze every detail of it. When critically reading it is important to really absorb what you are reading. If you don't know what a word means it may be a good idea to look it up. The same thing goes for critical listening. You need to really analyze all of the information that is entering your head, and make sure that you can fully comprehend it.
