Reading Article Reflection - Pono

Out of the seven traits of performative literacy, five of them apply to me.  They are: A capacity for sustained focused attention, willingness to suspend closure, tolerance for failure, intellectual generousity and fallibility, and the capacity to monitor and direct my reading process.  During grade school, I was a pretty hardcore reader.  I could read 500-800 page books in one sitting, understand when I'm lost and reread the book again, change my opinion after reading, and help myself during reading.  I usually read differently depending on the task and subject.  In my free time I usually read a lot smoother, not paying attention to all the details.  But when I have to read for school, I usually have to take more time reading through and looking for answers for certain questions.  Being able to read efficiently is what makes me a good reader, while not always being able to understand all the details is what makes me a weak reader.  I could probably try using the trait/strategy of questioning the text and thinking more, along with being more patient in my ability to solve problems I have from reading.  This year, I had to mature my writing style a lot.  From not being generic to not having the best insight, I struggled quite a bit.  Annotating and taking notes was a lot more work to do; I didn't like it too much.  Having to annotate turned me off from being able to enjoy the book; it made me have to look for details and analyze it.  I'll definitely have to annotate/take notes on literature in the future, so I'll just do it when I get there I guess.
