Reading_Lesson 6 Critical Reading as Looking for Ways of ThinkingTine Lachica

Simple reading aims to understand the basic definition and central idea of a text, while critical reading has the additional goals of understanding an author's purpose, tone, biases, and inferring deeper meaning. Critical thinking builds on critical reading by applying complex thought processes like identifying main ideas, drawing conclusions, comparing/contrasting, and determining facts versus opinions to make reasoned judgments and solve problems effectively.

Step One Write a draft of your paper. (A minimum of 2 FULL pages) .docxjensgosney
Step One: Write a draft of your paper. (A minimum of 2 FULL pages)
Step Two: Log into ecampus and mail a copy of your paper to your peer review partner and CC a copy to me. (You don’t have to do this through ecampus if you have both their email address and my email address directly.) In the body of the email you should ask your partner to focus on certain aspects of your paper about which you have concerns. DO NOT FORGET TO ATTACH THE WORK. If you do not attach the work you will not receive credit for the assignment.
Please note:
If you are late in submitting your paper to your partner or to me, or do not email your partner, you will lose a full letter grade.
Step Three: Read your partner’s work carefully and thoroughly—a
critical
reader. A critical reader questions the paper’s argument and looks for appropriate use of rhetorical strategies, such as good supporting evidence, organization and structure, and voice.
Use ‘track changes’ or the comment box feature in Word to document your peer review.
**You must make notes in the margins (suggestions include: structural issues, organization issues, transitions, word choice, awkward phrases, argument fallacies, citation problems, missing evidence, etc.). Use track changes, comment boxes in the review section, or even write inside the draft with a different font color.
Step Four: Compose a one-page single-spaced feedback letter with specific, constructive advice. This letter should be directed toward your partner. It can be a somewhat informal tone, but it should be the type of letter you would want to receive. You should address the points I have listed (you can use bullet points or any other type of list format). Use professional formatting.
Plan to address (at the bare minimum):
The Introduction: Does the author have an interesting hook? Is there enough context to situate the reader? Is there evidence of the current conversation?
The Thesis: Is the thesis clear, concise and compelling? Does it provide a road map for the rest of the paper? Is the topic narrow enough for a 4+ page paper?
Support & Evidence: Does the author use sources appropriately? Do you feel as though the author maintained his or her voice throughout the paper? Are the quotes properly contextualized (i.e. no hanging quotes that are plopped into a paragraph without explanation)? Are the citations correct? Does the author seem to have a solid understanding of the current scholarship about his or her topic?
Structure: Does the author have a logical progression of ideas? Does the evidence support the author’s claim? Does the author make use of effective argument techniques (AKA explain ethos, pathos, and logos within their advertisement well and with support)?
Transitions: Does the author move smoothly from one paragraph to the next? Is there a sense of logical development?
Writing Issues: Are there any issues with mechanics (punctuation, grammar or style) that need to be addressed?
Step Five: Log into ecampus and m.

Types of Business
Writing
No matter what your job title is, it’s almost guaranteed that
you’ll have to write something related to your work, usually on
a regular basis. Emails, memos, records, letters, reports, and
forms—even when they don’t appear as part of your job
description—are routine in any workday and must be com-
pleted correctly. Technicians, sales associates, service
personnel and, of course, all kinds of office workers are
expected to have the skills needed for everyday communica-
tions.
Earlier, you learned about the ABCs (abstract, body, and
conclusion) of writing a report or other document for school or
work. Now we’ll look at the ABCs of business correspondence:
accuracy, brevity, and clarity. We’ll revisit the importance of
writing according to the needs of your audience and purpose,
and define the differences between internal and external
customer service.
Successful business writing produces correspondence
that’s professional in tone and a positive reflection on your
company, as well as efficient and effective in completing the

WRITING EFFECTIVE
CORRESPONDENCE
Business correspondence is a personal reflection of the writer,
but it also reflects his or her professional standing by its
contents and its appearance. For the sake of simplicity, the
principles of effective business correspondence will be applied
here to letters, but those principles apply as well to email,
memos, reports, and so on.
Some letters will be written by the employer and dictated,
usually into a dictaphone machine, for later transcription by the
secretary. Other letters, concerning the more routine matters in
the office, may be written by the secretary. But, no matter
how routine the letter might be, its purpose is to convey a
message tha.
A resume is a personal advertisement that should highlight your qualifications, experiences, talents, and what makes you stand out. You should tailor your resume and cover letter specifically to each job by focusing on what the employer is looking for. Keep your resume to no more than two pages and include relevant information such as education, work experience, skills, and accomplishments.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.
