<h1>Zk | Friday — Critical Reading</h1>
</header>
<article class="content">
<ul>
<li>Intro<ul>
<li>Intro self (incl &ldquo;this is for MFA&rdquo; spiel)</li>
<li>Allow others to intro</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Ice breaker: What is your least favorite part of your favorite movie?</li>
<li>Lead into what is a text:<ul>
<li>Books/writing, yes, but also anything that tells a story &mdash; film, games, etc</li>
<li>Thus, what is critical reading?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Intentional engagement with a text, especially WRT the self:<ul>
<li>Back to ice breaker: how do you intentionally engage with your favorite film?</li>
<li>How do we intentionally engage with a text in furry?<ul>
<li>What do we like in a furry text?</li>
<li>What <em>don&rsquo;t</em> we like?</li>
<li>Notably, not asking what makes a text furry &mdash; that we are furries is what enables us to read in that context</li>
<li>Thus, how do we engage with a text that <em>we</em> feel is furry <em>as</em> furries?</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>What goes into critical reading?<ul>
<li>Layers:<ul>
<li>Mechanical: presentation, word choice, language usage, writing style, etc</li>
<li>Subjective: emotional impact, plot effectiveness, description, evocativeness</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>&ldquo;7 Trips Through the Score&rdquo; &mdash; may n ot need that many, but multiple (or at least slow) reading can let us focus on one layer at a time</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Reading exercise:<ul>
<li>Pick 1 of these 2 categories to pay attention to first and read, then read for the second</li>
<li>Critique tomorrow, but preview: we&rsquo;re not tearing a text apart, we&rsquo;re asking it questions:<ul>
<li>How did we feel the plot worked? Was there a structure? Could we follow it?</li>
<li>What was told? What was left out? How did (not) knowing make us feel?</li>
<li>What type of language usage was there? Word choice? Style usage?</li>
<li>How about emotional impact? Was the story impactful? Did the mechanics help or hiinder?</li>
<li>Was it evocative? How did the furry elements play into it? Did you want to learn more? Was it engaging?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Be ready to summarize</li>
<li>(~10 minutes to read)</li>
<li>Someone summarize</li>
<li>Talk through each</li>
<li>Talk through how the exercise felt:<ul>
<li>Was it useful? Tiring? Enjoyable?</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Tomorrow, we&rsquo;ll go through critiquing writing and actually workshop a piece &mdash; one of mine that has already been workshopped and published, so it&rsquo;s just an example of critiquing for a present author without putting anyone on the spot</li>
<li>Do you want optional homework for Sunday?<ul>
<li>Write a short ~500 word snippet (or offer one already written) to go through a gentle workshopping</li>
<li>While writing, think about what we talked through today</li>
<li>Email to me, I&rsquo;ll put it online for all to read in the workshop</li>
<li>Will be asking how it felt/etc</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
