Today in class Mrs. Dani told us to write a blog about what we thought about chapter 1-4. Personally, i thought that it was a good reintroduction to the bases of writing. the author talked about brainstroming (prewriting), writing, and proofreading (rewriting). I really found this book very easy to read; I thik that the points that the authour makes in the book are very important. I like the fact how he touched on how writing is not something that you can do from one stand point. In order to determine wether writing is good or bad you must look at your topics from different perspectives (stances). The activity that we did in class was pretty neat; to be perfectly honest this is my first interactive English class.
Now, that I have gotten off topic i guess its time to get back to the matter at hand. So, back to this book I really did get a beter understanding of how i should approach a paper. I feel like that if you use the techniques in the book and listen to the teacher that you will be a master at paper writing. Im going to be completely honest i do not know what else to write about because I feel that I have told you what I learned. So I guess this is the end of my FIRST blog. I hope that i did this right. LOL

I agree. The book is very easy to read. It's almost like a childrens book in a way. There were many tools that the author used throughout the text, which I feel will be very beneficial to all of us. I'm sure we have write differently and the author lists many different ways to write. Oh and I am pretty sure your blog is fine! Mine isn't much different. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes, your blog is fine, Jazmyn. I hope that the way Faigley outlines different strategies and approaches to writing boosts your confidence in tackling a project. I suggest you do try some or many of the techniques he suggests and see which ones are helpful for you.
ReplyDeleteRe "children's book," Jessica, don't be fooled by his easy-to-read style and his widespread use of visual rhetoric. There's a lot of good content here. He just packs it in a way that's easy to digest. :-)
