Narrative

My Reading Practices

Introduction

The reports in this narrative were written by undergraduate students enrolled in a university course on reading popular texts. The focus was on popular culture and everyday reading practices in Edmonton. The course opened with a look at definitions of popular culture and approaches to reading. The students then learned about and completed their own investigations of what people read, how they do so, and to what purposes. The second assignment asked students to report on their own reading practices. Relevant questions included: When do you read? Where do you read? How do time and space impact your reading practices? How have such things changed over time?
