Essay writing skillsQuestion the text
It's okay to disagree with something you read, as long as you back up your opinions with evidence.
Questioning what you read helps you to fully understand a text and form your own opinions about a subject. While reading through your resources, think about the following:
- Does the author have an obvious opinion about the topic?
- Have they used evidence to support their ideas?
- Do they state clear facts, or just opinions?
- Does the writer use emotive or persuasive language?
- How does the text make you feel?
For example
If a description of something or someone is all good or all bad, think carefully about whether the information might be biased.
