Small Differences Matter: The DNA of Online Reading Comprehension

The first sentence from this reading caught my attention immediately. "Two percent. Just 2% of code separates us from our Chimpanzee brethren." You would think the percentage would be a little bit bigger because there are some differences between the chimpanzee's and us.

The reading discusses strategic text assembly such as, Navigational Strategies (multitasking) and Comprehension Monitoring (understanding). The reading also discusses Socially Complex Texts and Multimodal Design. Socially Complex Texts consists of Sourcing Skills (skills on how to evaluate websites) and Analytics (how an idea travels). Multimodal Design discusses about the design of writing and the meaning behind the making of our writing). 

I liked this reading because it breaks down the steps of online comprehension and how we can use the different skills shared in this reading and add it to our writing or research. Annotating this or reading others annotations would have been fun and interesting to see, but I was having trouble annotating or seeing other annotations. I love the break down and description of each topic because it helps the readers understand what they are reading and makes it clearer to understand.
