welcome to the sojourner truth library. this session is meant to be an overview of how to read critically in order to retain information for your research, boost your knowledge, and find and use articles and library resources effectively.

think/pair/share about what you already know about research. what do you already know about the library? what do you know about this library, or how it is different from previous libraries that you have been to?

1 + 1 = think/pair/share
one thing that you already know about the library or research, and one question that you have about the library or research?

end w discussion of your previous knowledge, objectivity and seeming 'bias' can be your super power that you bring to your reading. critical practice is about understanding who you are and what you value, what you care about, what you are interested in; you bring your life experiences to your reading and it is important. also called 'feminist standpoint theory'.
