2021 Campus Reading
This Supplement to When Breath Becomes Air helps individuals read a text on an unfamiliar topic and internalize relevant themes from the book. The ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø English Language Center (ELC) created this supplement as part of our mission to address the professional, academic, and practical language needs of students who have a first language other than English. Our supplement includes:
- reading strategies for building background knowledge, previewing the text, skimming the text, and scanning the text
- an overview of organizational elements: explores skills for reading accuracy and comprehension, including sections about literary devices, technical terminology, and literary references
- a focus on Kalanithi’s writing style: identifies literary devices and how they can enhance the reading experience
- applying Kalanithi’s advice: guides reflection on how your background and interests can enhance your campus experiences
