RR#5

      Chapter six focuses on reading resources rhetorically.  It talks about rhetorical reading and how to read with a purpose or purposeful reading which is reading to learn and gather info.  It also talks about considering context and annotating resources.  Resources need to provide evidence to support and also reasons that support their claim.  It gives the inappropriate and appropriate ways to paraphrase the notes on resources.  It also talks about summarizing and the right ways to write a summary.  Chapter seven focuses on tracking and evaluating data.  It shows you how to verify, copy, respond, and fill gaps to see if you have collected useful and valid data.  It shows you how to evaluate validity by looking for the internal structure as well as the external comparison.
       After reading these two chapters, I now have a better understanding about finding and validating whether resources are good or bad.  It also shows me how I can paraphrase resources that are used for my notes.  I now know how to evaluate validity by looking at the internal structure and whether the argument follows coherent lines of reasoning.  External comparison also helps to evaluate validity by looking at the info and comparing it to other.
