Let's start with a google slide set on science research articles.

Now, onto KE's three-pronged strategy on reading technical literature. While you read, keep a "meta-critical" brain operating in your RAM brain on

• definitions/descriptions (stasis 2 of settled and essential knowledge
• analysis of this knowledge when applied in this research narrative (articles do tell stories)
• can you determine the first stasis of conjecture?  For scientists, this is a combination of the research inquiry question and the set of hypothesis under question.

Here is a guide -- with essential material linked -- on description and summary v. analysis.

Read your article!  On Friday, we will continue with this shape of your review -- 9-15 or so paragraphs of critical description, summary, analysis, and YOUR argument: how can this material be used to help others?  Do you think your document is a lemon or a pear?
