Reflection: 

While reading this passage,  I was having a very difficult time pronouncing all the words in the passage. I even tried to sound out the words to say them correctly. After  I read through the passage, I felt completely lost and had no idea what the passage means. I was going to read the passage a second time to try to figure out what the passage is saying. But then I decided to read the questions first and answer them as a read the passage again. When I read question a, I saw the answer right away. It didn't require me to do any critical thinking. I thought I have to analyze this somehow. I wanted to find other clues but couldn't find any words from the passage that I was familiar with. I decided to move on to the next questions and it was asking me to do the same thing. I looked for the words from the questions and following it was the answer. I simply typed or copied from the passage. I repeated this process and find the answer fast. 

While I was reading this passage, I thought it was so boring and wasn't interesting at all. I couldn't comprehend what the passage was about. I also thought about the students. The students would not read this passage because it is not interesting to them. Also, they would not have any prior knowledge about this passage. If this passage or passages similar to this in the workbook or standardized tests that ask the students to look and find the answer/clues. I think these passages in workbooks or standardized tests are pointless because it doesn't require the students to do any type of critically thinking. The passage and questions was this activity shows that these types of activity was not informational. It ask a question and I just find the answer within the passage.
