When you are reading for this assessment, try to do a couple of things. Take a piece of paper and make notes - talk to the text. Make a list of the characters from the reading. Keep a chronology of events, and then connect the events to symbolism, xenia, loyalty, or simply story and plot elements. You might read quickly the first time and then make careful notes at the second reading, or do everything at once.
While reading, see if the story elements connect to past events or foreshadow future events. Try to predict what is going to happen.
I encourage the use of quotes - sometimes the author's words are the best. However, do not overuse this technique.
