i like the fact that he talks about how she had language lessons, because i had those too. i hated them. she seems to question a lot which i really like how she talks. she said she lies showers, and showers are one of my favorite things. i also think a lot while i am in the shower, the steam helps. also that writers left on there own accord could change the academy. i think this is very true, we were taught such a cookie cutter way that it left many people out in the rain, but whats not to say that people who didnt fit the mold could all together change it all if given the proper chance.?

In this piece of writing i like the fact that he talks about the fact that we should shy away from writing and that you should mix medias, not focusing on one but spreading it on many. i think that we should switch from one to the other and not leave any out and be able to switch form one to the other with no effort at all. its important to no loose the ability to be able to write a coherent sentence and be able to communicate emotion through text, because with out that what else can we do

Mike Rose

i find it really interesting that he grew up in the circumstances that he was in. its amazing that from where he came fromhe is now teaching at such a high level. I also Know where he is coming from when he talks about "just Getting by" it so easy to just stare off into space or to doodle on your paper to make it look like you are paying attention or taking notes. "i just wana be average" makes sense, just want to get by, dont want to do great, like just give me a passing grade and i will get out of here. however with out teachers encouraging him he would not be in the place he is in today. i really liked reading this, it sorta related to what is so common in schools and made sense from it all.

Miller

In his video he talks about how you wrote an entire journal without even stepping inside of a library, u thought this was very interesting because i as a culture we have changed a lot from text based to doing almost everything on the internet. something else i found interesting is all the things he was doing with his computer, like having multiple windows up and switching back in forth between thing, i think this added to the fact that he was talking about how we have changed to using computers. i also like the fact that he talks about how you need to make it appealing to people, you cant just have an unedited lecture, but you need to have some post production to make it appealing.i realy like all the ideas that he presents, like that ideas are not yours but everyones

i really have no idea what this graph/chart is telling me..

its a triangle. and has word. i guess it is talking about the different types of writing? but i am very confused by it

Peter elbow is all about the writing experience on ones own, when Bartholomae believes in academic writing using teachers to form a concrete knowledge of how to write and the processes that go along with it. Bartholomae talks about how without teachers people would just follow main stream society and not develop a sense of there own writing and individualism. he feels that students should be taught the fundamentals. Bartholomae argument was strong and made it look like peter elbow didn't know what he was talking about.he called peters was foolish.

whats makes Bartholomae think that a teacher should make students write a certain way when they should develop there own style

why cant there be a mixture of both styles to create a master form of teacher/letting the students follow there own voice

my skills

Writing has never come easily to me. In high school I never was challenged to write my best, and if I didn’t do a good job on a paper the teacher would pass me anyways. Just like peter elbow I have trouble connection my outlines to my papers. And i have troubles getting started. When I do start writing I go off on tangents that are not related to the paper at all. in high school the English classes that I took were a joke, they didn’t ever teach me how to write a good paper I just sort of figured out what I needed to do to get a passing grade. I also have a big problem with procrastination. I leave everything till the night before and then rush to finish the paper usually producing a paper that is mediocre at best. I would really like to improve my writing skills, to better myself. I am looking forward to this class.

Peter Elbow

As I was watching the peter elbow youtube, I thought that it was interesting how he said that he had trouble writing and how he rambles on and goes off on tangents. I like his ideas on jotting down notes throughout the day before actually sitting down to write the paper. I am not the best at writing, but listening to peter elbow talk about how he had failures such as, not being able to connect his outlines to his paper, and not being able to come up with ideas for his paper, gives me hope for myself. I have a couple of questions that I would like to ask peter. First, what made you want to become a better writer when you already had plenty of degrees? How did you become a better writer on your own? After watching this video I am inspired to become a better writer, because if he can do it, I can do it!
