During one of our assigned posts we were required to write, we had to read a handout regarding the TRIAC Paragraph Structure. In order to properly understand how to make an effective paragraph for our TRIAC Paragraph post, we had to analyze the material in such a way that showed clear annotation for future reference. Below is the highlighted and annotated assignment.

While potentially an unusual example of the key methods to better understanding and annotating that Susan Gilroy was trying to convey, I was able to use them in order to better understand what the instructions and examples meant. This allowed me to construct a mostly clear and TRIAC-adherent paragraph discussing Big Data and the issues individuals had in regards to it. When Gilroy recommends that the reader “Take the information apart, look at its parts, and then try to put it back together again in language that is meaningful to you…” in “Interrogating Texts: 6 Reading Habits to Develop in Your First Year at Harvard” I adhered to her recommendations in order to better pick apart and understand the instructions as well as the example paragraph given. For example, when I happened upon a word I’d never seen before I looked it up, internalized what it meant, and proceeded to make note that in my own papers I would refrain from using words that similarly would require a reader to look up in order to understand the concept being presented. My annotations also point to improving my own understanding of what is being asked of me by the example paragraph. I highlighted key words or phrases and then translated them into a sort of language that would allow me an easier time comprehending the components of exemplary work when I would inevitably refer back to it when constructing my own paragraph. Thusly, I believe that the methods described by Susan Gilroy were applied in the informal reading and response of the TRIAC formatted paragraph assignment.
