Transcript: In the triangle, you are isolating the important patterns of data the author established. The goal here is not to write down every minute detail, but to look for patterns: note what data the author focused on and whether it is arranged into a connection, contrast, or a surprising anomaly. This will take a lot of the bulk of the article and help you focus not on what small details the author discusses, but why he or she selects those details out of all the details available. In short, summarize a pattern of details and explain whether it is a connection, contrast, or anomaly. [PATTERN FROM DATA COLLATION] reveals [A CONNECTION BETWEEN A NUMBER OF DETALS/ A CONTRAST BETWEEN DETAILS/ A SURPRISING ANOMALY]. TWO TO THREE SENTENCES THAT SHOW HOW THE AUTHOR USE THE DATA TO ANSWER ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: • How is the pattern part of a larger system? • How and why might the pattern an episode in a larger history of ideas about literacy? • How is the pattern similar to or different from another related pattern? • To what larger categories can the pattern be assigned? How does that help us understand it? • What values about literacy does the pattern reflect? What values does it support? Contradict? Thus [AUTHOR] suggests that [COMMON VIEW ON LITERACY], can be modified to understand [SPECIFIC ALTERATION TO COMMON VIEW]. So What Application Data Collation So What In the triangle, you are isolating the important patterns of data the author established. The goal here is not to write down every minute detail, but to look for patterns: note what data the author focused on and whether it is arranged into a connection, contrast, or a surprising anomaly. This will take a lot of the bulk of the article and help you focus not on what small details the author discusses, but why he or she selects those details out of all the details available. In short, summarize a pattern of details and explain whether it is a connection, contrast, or anomaly. Application Application Literacy seems to be about [ONE OF THE BIG FIVE], but it’s really about [EITHER ANOTHER OF THE BIG FIVE OR ANOTHER ASPECT OF THAT SAME BIG FIVE]. This changes [PRACTICE? ANALYSIS? OUR UNDERSTANDING? CAUSATION (SOME REVERSAL OF THE INITIAL BELIEF OF RELATION OF TWO THINGS)?
