I think that the most important thing about this article is that she emphasizes that "students need to read source texts as arguments and to think about the rhetorical contexts in which they were written rather than to read them merely as a set of facts to be learned"(40), and this allows them to think creatively about how they can interpret what the author and facts mean. I will be able to use this as i look at many different pictures and interpret them in many different ways.
Another thing that I find important is her definition of "rhetorical reading", and this is good to do when looking at all of the sources because it makes them more easy to understand and use effectively. It is the who, what and why.
The last idea that I find interesting is understanding that "both facts and opinions are essentially the same kind of statement: they are claims", but understanding this you are able to place some sort of value of importance of your materials.
