I really liked how there is a step by step process on how to synthesis the information one may read. There are so many ways: annotations, analysis, summary, evaluation and more. As a reader there are a whole bunch of things we can do in order to receive the main points from the reading. Annotations was a big thing at my high school when it camp to reading books or even reading instructions for assignments. I loved this because it helped make sure I got all the main points so that I would not have as many questions later on.
