Discussion can help me understand my feelings and clarify my thinking about a selection I am reading by exchanging questions and thoughts. By doing this, I not only get to know what the other person is discussing but also I get to voice out my views. By doing this, we can develop higher-level thinking skills. Also I get to correct myself if something is unright, and this will in return improve my understanding towards the text. We also can talk about the characters like when I was reading, I thought about … and this will encourage more interaction. Besides, by discussing we get to develop a “grand communication” about books. There are lots of things that can be discussed and we get to know other things which is not in the book. For example, the perception of my reading will not be the same as others where other people may have different perceptions. By looking at this, we get to improve ourselves.
Writing can also help me understand and clarify my thinking by responding to a journal. For example, I can jot down my initial impressions and expectations or engage in making predictions before reading a selection. This will some sort give me an understanding of the book that I am going to work on. This can be further improved by asking someone else to read and react to it. By doing this, we get to know the other person’s ideas and at the same time develop our thinking.
