Group 4

For our group we were suppose to say what had an affect on us while we read. For me the hardest thing was the amount of time we received to read the essay. When I'm timed for reading something, I rush myself. I feel like I have to read it all so I will skim some things so I might miss something important. We only had ten minutes to read and plus we were just handed the text and did not really know what it was about. It was hard for me to read it word for word and for me to truly understand it.

Secondly, the font for me was very small so it was hard for me to read it quickly without having to take a second glance to make sure i read it right the first time. With a bigger text it would have been a much easier read than with the text that was used on this essay.

Lastly, there was a picture right in the beginning of the essay so right away I was distracted by looking at the picture focusing more on that than the essay. Sometimes I doodle on the picture which takes time away from me reading the essay. This is bad because we were timed and because I took time to color I had to skim to catch up to where I should have been if I was not doodling. If that picture would not have been there I maybe would have understood the essay better because I would not have skimmed the essay.
