Highlights

In today’s class, Ben reminded us that Reading Comprehension isn’t about memorizing details—it’s about understanding the big ideas. The key to success is getting oriented around the main point. You shouldn’t need to constantly return to the passage; once you unpack the language, the underlying ideas are rarely as complicated as they seem. We also discussed how the meaning of a highlighted sentence depends entirely on the context it appears.
