Activity Extracting information from a document


I have been asked to read through the information above to have a better understanding of what would make a successful fashion magazine. I have decided to relate this information as if I was creating a domestic abuse magazine.

  1. Which method (for example, skim-reading, underlining) did you find most useful for identifying key information?

When reading the information in the table above I found that skim reading was the most useful source of extracting information. I was able to briefly read over the text and had an understanding straight away of what the text meant. The information was short already so on some I read through all of the text. The information given was easy to understand which gave me a good understanding of each term needed to make a successful domestic abuse magazine.

2. How relevant is the information you have extracted?

All of the above information was very useful and relevant to me making a domestic abuse magazine. I recognised that all of these factors are key for the magazine to be a success. When reading skimming through the information given I was comparing this to what it would look like on the front cover of my magazine.

3. Could you edit down that information further still?

I believe I could shorten down the information slightly. However, I feel the detailed description given helped me to properly understand key factors in making a magazine.
