If you want to start reading this blog series from the beginning, click HERE to go back to the first post: Understanding Close Reading: Part 1 - What is Close Reading?
If you read the first post, you saw that I broke the definition of close reading down into three key parts:
1.) Purposeful re-reading
2.) Analysis
3.) Use of complex text
In an effort to avoid information overload, the first blog post (found HERE) focused only on Purposeful Re-reading and Analysis.
In this post, I will break down the last part of that definition: Use of complex texts.
