Text Mapping :
The way we read things is by a single page at a time or a two page book format but another way of reading and gathering information is by text mapping. Text mapping is a visual method that helps the reader understand how information is organized and arrange. When trying this method for the first time I and reading/annotating the text I started to see and notice the flow of the writers thought process. I started making connections between the main idea of the text and the way it was organize. When I started to highlight text I found I needed to use multiple colors to separate certain ideas. After that I really got to appreciate this new method because of the way the text started to pop. I found text mapping a lot easier navigate through text and come back to find what in the text goes together and in a way filter out what is important and how important is it. Text mapping made me physically interact with the text and find and make the connections with the content in the article.
