Annolighting a Text

Definition:
A before reading strategy that targets the student's ability to formulate questions in response to a text, analyze and interpret elements of poetry and prose, and draw conclusions and make inferences based on explicit and implicit meaning by using text highlighting strategies (Ladewig, 2009).

Purposes:
Capture main ideas / key concepts /details of a reading.

 Target, reduce and distill the needed information from a text. Cut down on study and review time when you return to the material increasing your effective and efficient use of time and effort. Strengthen your reading comprehension.

Steps:
Choose a framework for your highlighting. Are you looking for main ideas?

Are you looking for supportive evidence?

Are you defining vocabulary? Are you analyzing a process?

 Read text through once without highlighting anything Use Telegraphic highlighting

Eliminate every unnecessary word in a sentence .

Only highlight the IMPORTANT words. Use different colors to help sort information For instance, use blue for main points, yellow for supporting evidence, etc. Once the highlighting is complete, reread the highlighted

portions and create annotations

Beside the text, write your thoughts. Does this information connect with anything else you know?

Public administration Public administration houses the implementation of government policy and an academic discipline that studies this implementation and that prepares civil servants for this work. As a "field of inquiry with a diverse scope" its "fundamental goal... is to advance management and policies so that government can function." Some of the various definitions which have been offered for the term are: "the management of public programs", the "translation

of politics into the reality that citizens see every day"; and "the
study of government decision making, the analysis of the policies

themselves, the various inputs that have produced them, and the inputs necessary to produce alternative policies."

Public

administration

is

"centrally

concerned

with

the

organization of government policies and programmes as well as the behavior of officials (usually non-elected) formally responsible

for their conduct. Many unelected public servants can be

considered to be public administrators, including heads of city, county, regional, state and federal departments such as municipal

budget directors, human resources (H.R.) administrators, city

managers, census managers, state [mental health] directors, and cabinet secretaries. Public administrators are public servants

working in public departments and agencies, at all levels of

government.
In the US, civil servants and academics such as Woodrow Wilson promoted American civil service reform in the 1880s,

moving public administration into academia. However, "until the

mid-20th century and the dissemination of the German sociologist Max Weber's theory of bureaucracy" there was not "much interest in a theory of public administration." The field is multidisciplinary in character; one of the various proposals for public including administration's human sub-fields resources, sets out six pillars, theory, organizational

policy and statistics, budgeting, and ethics.
