Section B asks the question 'How can I use my research question to read critically?' it explains that a research question is a brief question that directs your efforts to collect, critically read, and evaluate your sources. You need to develop a statement about your position on your issue which you will use to guide your critical reading.
Section C answers how you can read with an attitude. You need to approach a source with your writing situation in mind. You need to think about your research question, your purpose and role, your readers needs, the type of document, the design of your document, the requirements and opportunities.
Section D answers what strategies you can use to read accurately. These strategies include marking your sources so you know later what you were thinking when you first read them and what questions you had, you need to annotate sources and take notes
Section E focuses on the question 'What should I pay more attention to as I read?' You need to first identify the type of source you are reading, weather it is a scholarly article or an argumentative essay, you need to identify it as such. You next need to Identify weather it is a primary source or a secondary source. You need to Identify the main points of the article so you can focus on those. Identifying reasons is also an important step, you next need to consider the use of the evidence, weather it appeals to authority, emotion, principles, character, logic or reasoning.
Section F asks the question 'How many times should I read a source?' First pass: Skim for Organization and Content, this says to first skim the document to see if it is even worth reading. Next is the Second Pass: Read actively, once you have determined that the document is worth reading you then read it thoroughly. Finally we have the Third pass: Reread important passages, which is exactly what it sounds like, rereading important passages.
