Question: 

students may wish to focus on a narrow topic or theme, or engage in close readingor analysisof a single reading or resource. For example, you might focus on an author’s style or writing choices, an interpretation of the composition of an image, or scrutiny of a particular word or set of terms that appears repeatedly in a reading. A close reading is a reflection on and interpretation of a specific reading or passage. Close readings are the easiest and most straightforward types of blog posts to write, since you are engaging your own interpretation of a specific passage or reading. In a close reading, ask yourself “What did I observe in these readings and what possible different meanings or interpretations could these observations have?” The key task in this type of blog post is to gather a set of observations and interpretations in order to develop your own perspective on a reading or to explore the reading(s) from different perspectives. This exercise will help you to become skilled in “perspective taking” or “re-framing.” In this format, you want to address how a reading speaks to your own perspective or knowledge. Then, you might form an interpretation of the themes or issues raised on the readings based on this perspective. As you do this, you might also ask yourself how other readers (or types of readers) might view and interpret the passage under consideration. Some of the following questions might be helpful in developing a close reading blog post: What might a “neutral” observer read? Is a “neutral” reader or interpretation even possible? What kind of reader might disagree with or contest either your conclusions or that of the passage you have chosen to analyze? Take into account the ways in which privilege and power, or struggle and disempowerment, might alter your perceptions and interpretations.
