Critical reading involves standing back and analyzing a text from multiple perspectives rather than taking information at face value. It means considering an issue's context, evaluating evidence and ideas before making a judgment. The process allows one to engage with different views and form independent interpretations. Critical reading is the foundation of academic writing and starts during reading by actively questioning a work's provenance, content, bias and usefulness. Developing critical reading skills helps one's studies and daily life.
This presentation has been used to guide workshops on research and academic writing conventions for upperclassman and first-year graduate students. However, it could be adapted for a first and second year student audience. The content is rich, emphasizing reflection, research/inquiry, as well as grammar. This material also demonstrates how to use new media as part of an overall research strategy. The presentation is designed to be presented interactively with writers across the disciplines, multilingual writers, and any writer unfamiliar with the academic writing process. The content is not linear, as many slides could be clipped and customized for integration into a first-year writing course, or even a session or workshop for graduate student writers of any classification.

Research questions: Does the white teachers really have bias against the black children towards their behaviors in school?
I would like to get my feedback on the grammar, ideas of the entire paper, what to write on the conclusion, or any change I should make in the sources?
Intro:
In the history of the United States, the war is not only about the out wars, it is also an inner war that was between the colors, regions, and the races. Even now people have more open thoughts than the back of the years, yet we still suffering from the discrimination because of our color. Not only does the adult need to fight with the war, the kids also suffer from the issue of the color. Many black children in today’s United States still experiencing a discrimination from not only their classmates, neighbors, strangers, but also from their teachers. Teachers' bias against the black children is one of the problems that the United States is facing. To be a teacher, teachers should be careful with student’s feelings instead of saying things without thoughts.
Writing this paper brings me back to my history class when I was in highschool, I still remember how strong my feeling was when I saw the picture of burning the black people by the whites, being unbelievable it has happened in our real life. I want to explore this problem which has occured for hundreds of years and is still very common in the year of 2020.
Body paragraph1:
“Teachers' Implicit Bias against Black Students Starts in Preschool, Study Finds.”
To compare the reactions and relationships between white teachers and black students, having a test on the teacher and the children is a credible activity to do. It shows the evidence of a reality. The research is about the eye-tracking technology on which child teachers are more identified. The result of the research came out as 42% of the teachers identified the black boys. Is that a good result? Why does almost half of the teachers identify the black boys? Is it because the black students behave badly? In the article, it has shown that the teachers have lower expectations of the black students in school than white students.
This is a credible article for me since there is evidence from the researchers and they really put a test between the students and teachers. The purpose of this article is to understand the expectation from teachers to black students and white students. Their behavior is worth observing. This became helpful to my topic because it shows whether the bias is occurring from teacher to between whites and black students. Compared to the score gap, the expectation is also important because it is also involved in the bias implicit towards the black students.
Body paragraph 2:
“Eye-tracking technology shows that preschool teachers have implicit bias against black boys”
The researchers used eye-tracking technology to watch over white teachers to black students. To understand how the te ...

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Pg academic reading critical analysis
1. Academic reading: critical analysis
Explain the critical reading process
Use the process and relate it to your
subject
Assess the place of critical reading in your
studies and your daily life
Rhian Wyn-Williams
Academic Skills Tutor
2. In pairs, take three minutes to discuss what you
see in this image.
3. How does this add to your analysis?
What does this flag mean to you or
your family?
Why might it mean different things
to different people?
What do you think British values
are?
4. You have started to critically analyse, so what is
critical analysis?
• Standing back and thinking about all the elements of a topic
• Not taking information at face-value
• Thinking about context
• Considering an issue from different perspectives
• Analysing and evaluating information, ideas and perspectives before making a
judgement
• Critical thinking is about asking and answering questions: ‘Why? How? What if? What
next? So what?’
5. Now you’re critically analysing, take it a step
further. How does this add to your analysis?
British Values are identified as:
• Democracy.
• The rule of law.
• Individual liberty.
• Mutual respect.
• Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.
Should these be taught in schools?
On your handout, start noting down what you think
and why.
6. But is there more for you to consider?
You each have one of two articles about the promoting of
British Values in schools.
Read the article and add some more detail to your grid: is
this another point of view or does it give you some more
reasons to explain your own view?
Share the information and ideas from your article with the
rest of your group. Use that discussion to add even more
comments to your grid.
Finally, we’ll watch this video.
What do you think now?
7. Starting to deepen your critical reading….
Critical reading is the foundation of your
academic writing.
The critical analysis in your writing starts
when you’re reading:
• It allows you to engage with a range of
perspectives
• It offers you supporting evidence
• It encourages you to form you own
interpretations and conclusions
• It helps you find your academic voice
8. Actively ask questions of the material, such as…
Nature
What is the provenance?
(author, date)
What is the context?
What type of source?
What is its purpose?
What is the intended audience?
What is the bias?
Are there assumptions?
Content
What is the main point/argument/conclusion
of the source?
What further/minor points are made?
Use of language and imagery?
What evidence is used? Effective?
How does this information compare with
other sources and/or your own knowledge?
Usefulness
How can I use this?
What is its significance?
What are its limitations?
9. • Choose either of the two articles
on British Values in Education on
your handout.
• Using the critical reading
questions, as far as is possible,
critically discuss them.

Don’t forget, you will also be thinking about how to use this reading in your
own research. Think about taking this to your supervision meetings to help you
discuss your reading.
12. Try it out…
• In pairs, choose any two of the sources
we have used today, and have a go
at filling in the blank version of the grid
on your worksheet.
• What points of analysis did you
note down? Why?
• Now you have critically engaged with a
range of source material, what do you think?
Should British values be promoted in schools?
13. Reflection…..
If you had to give another student a piece of advice
about how to develop their critical reading, what
would it be?
