📘 Analytical Reading Prompts
This Notion template is designed for those seeking a simple guideline for analytical reading notes. This page will help organize themes, ideas, arguments, solutions, etc. I classify this dashboard as one that can organize primarily nonfiction or fiction not being read purely for entertainment (ie. school, life learning, research)
