III. Your Reading: For what purpose did you read this piece? What kind of background knowledge do you have on this topic? How did all of these factors influence the reading strategies you used and your ultimate comprehension? Were you part of the discourse community to which this piece was aimed (e.g., was it written for students? Teachers? A fandom?)

Part 2: (1-2 pages): Compare and contrast the reading strategies (e.g., using text features, summarizing, questioning, reading comments, highlighting concepts, preparing for student reading, and so on) you used to understand each piece. Be specific about the reading strategies you used in each case, how they were useful, whether they were useful across the pieces you read or if they were only useful in particular situations. Why do you think these strategies were or were not useful across pieces? How did you decide upon the strategies you would use?
