Extensively highlighting and writing all over a packet or book. Typically mandated by high school teachers. Commonly used as torture by teachers at the Cleveland High School CORE program in order to ensure the diminished social lives of their students. Never checked by teachers but required. Easy to copy from another student. BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ASS!

Reading a book or poem so carefully (while constantly referencing the OED), that you suddenly discover something "new and special" about one word in the poem. This word then magically allows you to write three paragraphs about its "new and special meaning." All the while during this "close reading," you will be contemplating suicide as your face, body, and mental thought process will hurt with the agony of forced close analysis.
Bob: I've got a twenty seven page paper due tomorrow on a four line poem.
Chris: Man you better do a close reading of that poem.
