The Topic of the Journal
Reading must be the interaction of many variables in the reading process. What kinds of reading interaction have you experienced? Think about your reading process and try to apply your thought into any interaction model introduced in this chapter.

My writing
I could say interactive reading is a mixture of 'Top-down approach' and 'Bottom-up approach', according to the text book, page 17.
When I come up with while I'm reading the text book, I use both of them. For Top-down approach, I try to find topic sentence and general idea. Then I summarize what I've read. On the other hand, for Bottom-up approach, I always find the meaning of key or important words that I don't know.
In my case, I find the words first. Then I try to capture general idea of the paragraph and chapter. Therefore, I could say I use Bottom-up approach first and Top-down approach later.
