ENG 101-108rs,
In addition to that awesome handout from Scott Kneece (my former colleague at the University of CA), here are some links that might help you understand this idea of "close reading" a little better. I don't expect you to read any/all of this, but I wanted to make it available just in case you're interested. Also if it seems like we're breezing over this particular reading approach a bit, we are -- "close reading" is typically used for poetry, and we're studying non-fiction texts in this course.

- "How to Do a Close Reading" by the Harvard College Writing Center
- "A Close Look at Close Reading" by Beth Burke
- The Wikipedia entry for "Close Reading"
- And a video by some folks at the Eberly Writing Center on what "close reading" looks like (see below)
