Assignment: This week, you will reflect on what you read, how you read, and why you read, and then share your personal reading process.
This assignment has two goals. The first is to give you practice in reflecting on your experience with reading and how those experiences have impacted the way you read today. The second is to give your instructor insight into who you are as a student and a reader so your instructor can better assist you throughout the course.

There are two parts to this assignment. In the first part, you will share your reading experience. Think about how you learned to read, what you like to read, whether you make time to read, if you enjoy reading. In the second part, you will read two articles and respond to the information presented in those articles.

Part 1: Personal Reading Experience (225 to 300 words)

Answer the following questions. Remember the point is not to be right or wrong, but to look at your current reading habits so you can figure out what's working, what isn't, and what you can do to improve your habits and strategies.

• cc300 to 450 words)

Prior to beginning work on this section, read the articles The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Paper versus Screens and Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains. Consider the information in the two articles and address the following:

• Describe your reaction to the articles. What do you agree with and why? What do you disagree with and why?

• Compare your experience to the information shared in the articles. How have your experiences been similar or different?

• Explain the impact you think this will have on your reading in college and why academic assignments typically have formatting requirements.

For this assignment, it is suggested that your work is double spaced and written using Times New Roman 12-point font. Submit the final draft to Waypoint as a Microsoft Word document.

Carefully review your essay before you submit and consider these questions:

• Did you write at least six paragraphs? Each bullet point should be covered by one paragraph of writing.

• Did you answer the questions in every bullet, as specified in the assignment instructions? Paragraphs are typically a minimum of four sentences.

• Was each paragraph organized to effectively cover what was asked for in the instructions?

• Did you double-check the spelling, grammar, punctuation, and organization? Grammarly is a great tool to help with this!
