This week's and last week's readings were great openers! That is the best way I can think to describe it. All the pieces (Sommer's "Revision
Strategies of Student Writers and Experienced Adult Writers"; Nathan's "The
Art of College Management"; and Kleine's "What
is it we do . . .") were all extremely relatable and relevant to our classroom. They brought out the positives and negatives of students, which also brought up some moral issues. Sommer's piece on revising was great, discussing the techniques and differences between students and adult writers. Now, just saying someone is an adult does not make them any more a better writer or more experienced. Although, my favorite piece was Nathan's "The Art of College Management." For starters I love how he uses the word management in regards to cheating! Also, the points he makes (see previous post) are very relatable and require the reader to think a little.
These articles made me more aware when 'cheating' (not that I cheat, but to think about school work and how it could affect my morals, rather than if it fits the definition). I liked the different perspectives of adults and students and the ways (and differences) that they revise. Kleine's piece on research was extremely interesting considering research is my least favorite part of any paper. It allowed me to think outside of the box and to have a different, more positive view on research.

The connecting of all the pieces is really clear and makes for a fluid piece. The interpretation of how they re all connected to cheating is an interesting p.o.v and I didn't think they were all connected. God Job.
ReplyDeleteI agree, these all related closely to our experiences in the classroom. I liked how you showed how each of the author's intention affected you, making the piece flow. Good response :)
