    • the text began in medias res, without orienting information about author, source, topic, or purpose.
    • preface to Sylvia Farnham-Diggory's Cognitive Processes in Education, was like many texts students read, easy to decode but difficult to interpret, with a high density of information and several semi-technical expressions which had to be defined from context.


    “However, we suspected that many academic topics would give an unfair advantage to the more experienced readers, who would be able to read automatically by invoking their knowledge of academic topics and discourse conventions” (Haas & Flower., 1988, p. 171).

    “The experiment consisted of 10 people with various levels of education and different age groups to learn about how the readers use their constructive meanings and constructive strategies.” (Haas & Flower., 1988).

    Direct Quotation: "It is useful to see rhetorical reading not as a separate and different strategy but as a progressive enlargement of the constructed meaning of a text" (Haas & Flower, 1988, P.177).

    Paraphrase: We should view Rhetorical reading as one of the strategies, and not the only strategy to understand the meaning of a text. Which allows it to progress (Haas & Flower, 1988).

    Notes:
    - Comments coded as content strategies are concerned with content or topic information, what the text is about. The reader may be questioning, Interpreting, or summing content, paraphrasing what the text is about or is saying.
    - Function feature strategies were used to refer to conventional, generic functions of texts, of conventional features of discourse.
    - Rhetorical strategies take a step beyond the text itself. They are concerned with constructing a rhetorical situation for the text, trying to account for author's purpose, context, and effect on the audience.

    Direct Quotation: "A text is understood not only as content and information, but also as the result of someone's intentions, as part of a larger discourse world, and as having real effects on real readers" (Haas & Flower pg 169 1988).
