  • No text, however well written and authoritative, contains its own, pre-determined meaning.

  • Readers must work hard to create meaning from every text.

  • Critical readers interact with the texts they read by questioning them, responding to them, and expanding them, usually in writing.

  • The purpose of research is not simply to retrieve data, but to participate in a conversation about it. Simple summaries of sources is not research, and writers should be aiming for active interpretation of sources instead

  • There is no such thing as an unbiased source. Writers make claims for personal reasons that critical readers need to learn to understand and evaluate.
