Growing up in a time that was predominately print rather than computer, Carr is quick to favor print reading. While he provides ample support for his argument, I don’t necessarily stand beside him, solely because I was raised in a different time then him. This, of course, meant we were raised with different experiences. While he was learning to read books in print in his time, I was learning to read both books and Internet sources in mine. I don’t, however, dispute his argument; in fact I agree with some of things he says.
While some subjects provide exercise books for you to work in, others may require you to use a file. While files give more flexibility in terms of what you put into them there are one or two points that you need to be aware of: Files should be well organized with dividers splitting up one area of a subject from another. Rather than carrying a number of heavy files to or from school it is better to use one file for transporting papers and keep your main storage files at home. There is nothing more distressing than a file containing two years worth of notes going missing in the last month before I/GCSE. Frequently you will be required to hand in work which you have completed using
Casey has a lot of resources made available for him at the Ohio State Library. The library has many services that can provide Casey with the information he needs. But, with one week left before his contributions are due, some of the services won’t be available for Casey to utilize in time. Article Express is a great resource to use since it is an efficient way you can get sources. All you need to do is fill out a request form and will receive the link to your source by searching through whatever is in the OSU collection.
I would either type as though I am talking rather than using proper grammar; reviewing is a tool that I always have needed to utilize because of this. I always have needed to review what I am writing and reading to make sure that my information is conveyed correctly. | Wrap-up questions: How successful was the SQ3R process in helping you grasp the concepts in the section you selected? Will you use SQ3R in the future as a way to master the content in academic readings? When I began reading this chapter I thought as though I did not need the information about to be provided to me.
After reading the book, I kept on remembering this certain passage that for me defined the main theme of the book. We live in a world that depends heavily on literature. However, we take that for granted and dismiss the importance of it so readily. This passage
According to King, why is it so necessary to read a lot and to write a lot in order to be a good writer? Reading like anything else takes practice. I think that what King was trying to say is that when a person reads frequently they start to get a better understanding of the craft of writing. From the development of characters, to the plot building and creating a colorful timeline of events, ones writing can only improve with more reading. Stephen King was saying that confidence in prose will grow along with reading.
“Whenever we write, whether it’s an email to a friend or a toast for a wedding, an English essay or a resume, we face some kind or rhetorical situation” (Bullock, Goggin 1). There are many different ways to get your point across when it comes to writing, but without a strategy, your point will not be heard. You have to consider what your rhetorical situation is before you start. Bullock and Goggins had some great strategies to go by when it comes to writing. They believed that, “We have a purpose, a certain audience, a particular stance, a genre, and a medium to consider- and often as not a design” (Bullock, Goggin 1).
The library is a wonderful resource for research. Back in the day, long before the Internet, most writers, reporters and journalists would spend hours at the library poring over research materials. Nothing’s changed, the library is still a great place to find everything you need. Books, magazines, and periodicals. All of these can be found, of course, at the library.
Does your log reflect high-quality, non-commercialized books? Your comments: L5. A majority of my books are fairly commercialized. I have a lot of award winning books, so most are pretty well known. As a teacher, I will make sure to broaden my variety of books in the classroom to let my students build their reading list and think outside of the box.
This is the last day before we go to the library and we are getting all of our information together for our trip to categorize books. We have changed our minds about teaming up on each section and we will now be separating at the library and doing different sections but if that doesn’t work out then we will go back to the original plan. We feel it will be helpful to just take some pictures with our phones instead of going through the trouble of getting a camera and loading the pictures on to the computer. I think the phone will be easier by just sending the pictures to my e-mail. I think we chose the best way to promote
