In most literature nowadays authors like to argue or set controversy so it receives the readers attention. When writing you don’t have to have the reader always agree with you 100%, but you want them to think about your point of view which may cause controversy between you and the reader. When having an argument within your writing make sure to have support behind it. Some writers make their arguments even harder to follow when agreeing with something and
He offered a lot of help and was willing to make notes on my paper to attempt at helping me make my paper the best it could possibly be. I really appreciate his time and effort and definitely took in to account some of the great and helpful feedback he gave me. Another person I would also like to shortly thank is Professor Miller. She took the time out of her busy schedule to sit down and have a conference with me and go over any questions. It made it easier to figure out exactly what she was looking for in my paper.
The more they practice and the more teachers and parents instill this in their minds, the better they will become. Perfect practice, makes perfect. Most people would probably have trouble with trying to remember how they learned to read. I would have to say that I am a person who loves to read and I think that is it really an amazing thing. Also, I am someone who is involved in education and research and I think that it is amazing how learning to read is said to be a talent that it potentially impossible.
I really enjoyed getting to know 2 of my team members whom I worked very closely with on this project and will keep in touch with after this class is long over. As for what could have gone better, I feel we had some serious disruptions that caused our group to form in a reactive manner… versus naturally; I would have liked to experience a more solid group experience. 2. If working in a group: What did you learn from working in a project group? Aside from the class content I learned that I don’t wait for things to happen I went into this telling my group that under no circumstance could I lead this project but I found myself incapable of waiting for things to evolve on their own, I have more of a leader personality than I thought.
Literacy Narrative All writers write for different reasons; whether it be expressing his or her opinion on a particular subject, or recording factual data from an experiment that had previously been conducted. Not everyone likes writing, just as not everyone likes mathematics or history. Personally, I LOVE writing. Writing, for me, whether it be in a diary, on a pad of paper, or even on a computer, has always been my favorite way of expressing my feelings. When writing, I have the freedom to express my opinion on a certain subject without having to worry about being judged if it is a controversial topic, or being ridiculed if my opinions seem to offend other people.
CONCLUSION Being put in a team to do assignments can be very hard for some people because they may like to work alone. But if you think about it if you work in a team you can get the work done in half the time. It won’t put a strain on you worrying how can you get the work done, knowing you have to work and do other day to day things. As long as you designate who is going to be the leader and do what the leader tells you or ask you to do, the team will be fine. Just think how exciting your paper will be with all the other ideas, they may think of things you had no idea even existed.
I chose the article BECOMING A CRITIC OF YOUR THINKING by Dr. Linda Elder and Dr. Richard Paul. I felt the message was more straightforward and relatable than some of the other articles I read. This article struck me as a “how-to guide” to improve one’s critical thinking, which is something anyone could benefit from even if one is already a good thinker. I liked how the article first asks the reader how much they really know about their own daily thinking. It’s an interesting question, because as the article also states, most people probably think that “it just happens in their minds automatically,” and that we probably, for the most part, “take our thinking for granted.” I know I am guilty on both counts.
Also just like most other skills practice makes perfect and after awhile of practice you will be able to write just off any idea that floats in your head! C) The text starts with a rhetorical question ‘so you want to be a writer?’ and the person asking you the question isn’t expecting an answer from you as if you did not want to be a writer because if you did not want to become a writer you wouldn’t be reading this text that he has written about becoming a writer and also the fact that it continues with ‘is your pen poised and your pad ready?’ He gives a lot of good points on how to be a good writer and how to sty focused and set yourself a target and points and tips just like that but as an article as a whole after reading it I don’t think the writer has been at all successful with his article but he has failed as this text is supposed to make a reader convinced that the love writing but the text just doesn’t do that for me as I don’t like writing now but I used to like it before the text has put me off writing as it shows that even if you spend your whole life trying and trying you probably wont succeed and only a very few amount of people like j.k. Rowling will get
This book has inspired me to read books more often considering the fact that I only read if it is mandatory such as for a school assignment. Although my favorite genre of books are teenage fiction books, I also like to read any type of fiction books. I would prefer to read a teenage fiction book because I like to be able to relate to different events that unfold in the book that I am reading. I like to be able to have a connection or something in common with a character from the book. This book was one of my personal favorites because me and the main character, Anne, had a lot in common.
This shows that students are not just writing more but they are actually using knowledge of writing techniques to adapt their text to cater to a particular audience. Basically, I think it is okay to say that we as a generation are not getting dumber. We may be storing less information in our brains as Bauerlein pointed out in his article but that is all because we have gotten used to the idea of having access to almost any answer at any location. Just think about the jobs we are going to be able to do in the future if we can use our brains for exclusively for thinking because memory would be stored somewhere else. Again, we are not becoming dumber, but rather we are just becoming smarter and taking advantage of the tools we have around
