There are several things you can do if you want to engage more deeply with a text. For example, you can do background research on the topic, or the author. Understading the context in which the text was written can help you better appreciate the claims it presents or the style it displays. Another strategy is highlighting important passages or words. Doing so will help you identify the main ideas and keep them fresh in your mind. Finally, you can also use these words and phrases in order to create a summary written in your own words.
