A reading note

Before searching, describe what a useful answer would allow you to understand. You might need a clear description, a reason for a distinction, or an account of how a conclusion was reached. Give that need a concrete shape instead of collecting anything related to the topic. As you read, check whether the material moves you toward that understanding. An interesting detail can remain worth saving without becoming the answer you set out to find. A clear purpose also makes it easier to explain why a response has helped or why a different response is needed.

Questions to carry forward

  • What would I be able to explain after receiving a useful answer?
  • Does this detail advance that purpose or simply add interesting background?
  • How can I describe the kind of response that would help me continue?
