Identification of bottleneck[edit | edit source]

Students find it difficult to view Home as a constructed ideal.

Description of mental tasks needed to overcome the bottleneck[edit | edit source]

Students must be able to:

  • Understand that a text can have multiple meanings
  • Ask questions about what did not happen in a text, as well as what was actually on the page.
  • Recognize that carefully reading requires an investment of time beyond just passing one’s eyes over the words
  • Read more than once
  • Compare the text to a series of prompts or questions
  • Look for clues that relate the text to the secondary scholarship on the topic
  • Consider other possible models of the phenomena being presented (in this case the family)
  • Recognize the biases that a figure from the past brings to his or her description of phenomena
  • Look for contradictions and tensions within the text
  • Distinguish between what is and is not important in a text
  • Step back and take themselves out of the story
  • Recognize that the text is the creation of particular people
  • Compare different sources to understand each of them better
  • Recognize that people in the 19th century are different than us, that they have very different assumptions
  • Reconstruct the identity of the person who produced the text
  • Ask questions about the text – why was it produced, what was its purpose, what is it arguing
