My Reflection On The Role Of Ryne As A Writer

Decent Essays
• At the start of the lesson, I used the writing process to explain to Ryne what we would be doing for the day. I pointed out the section that we were in, goal setting, and also referred back to the section that covers what we know about the type of writing.
• Before I had Ryne set goals for his own writing, I talked about the goal of informational writing. I did this so Ryne would know what to base his goals off of. I also connected informative writing to the real world to help explain the goal of informative writing. I made the connection to being a journalist and that journalist have to tell a story when they report on a story. They aren’t able to just list facts because people aren’t interested in just reading the facts. This shows Ryne that when he writes an informative piece, he needs to make sure that he informs his audience while also telling a story to keep the attention of his audience.
• During the lesson, I used an example of a “3” paper to shows Ryne what he was striving for. This example showed Ryne would need to change or add to his paper to receive a 3. While reading the paper, I asked Ryne if he wanted to take turns reading because he normally enjoys reading. When Ryne said that he wanted me to read, I told him to follow along with me. I also used a piece of paper to mark which

I had Ryne share the goals he wanted me to include first and then I shared a few of the goals that I had come up with. As I was sharing some of the goals I thought of, Ryne was able to think of other goals that he wanted to include. Created the goals together ensured that Ryne’s voice was heard and that I didn’t just include what I wanted him to do. While creating the goals, I also referred back to the goal of informative writing to help Ryne set goals. This ensured that Ryne’s paper would meet the goal of informative writing. It also showed me that Ryne understood the overall goal of informative

    Without adding these goals the reader would have no context for any future points made by the author. The author also makes sure to use great detail when describing each goal to ensure clarity of what each goal aims to accomplish. The author after establishing the goals of the class use two case studies of very different students to support their claims that these goals are the correct way to handle the class. The first case study uses a student named Jack, and Jack is an example of a student whom struggles with writing and goes into the course with little confidence in his own ability to write. The course's goal for a student like him is not to critique him on his formatting, but to help him develop a flow of writing, and make sure that he is making moves to inform the reader.…

    We are purpose driven people. Because of this, the text we write also becomes purposeful. The Norton Field Guide to Writing begins the fifth chapter saying, “All writing has a purpose” (Bullock et al., 55). In any form of communication, we have the need or purpose for relaying a message. The Norton Field Guide to Writing also asks if our purpose is “…to entertain?…

    Brianna Cardenas emailed Meinhard B. Cardenas on the 19th of October, 2016, asking if he would be interested in participating in a profile essay where one must be interviewed by a student with mutual interest in the same line of work. Cardenas is a professor at The University of Texas at Austin: Jackson School of Geosciences, who specializes in Hydrology, a field Brianna is very much interested in. Brianna could not stress enough, the amount of dedication she was willing to put into their interview, if only Cardenas would have the time and interest to accommodate her. So, when Brianna got an email from Cardenas that very same day, with not only accepting her interview, but by also showing signs of equal or more excitement to answer her questions,…

    Writing on the most basic level is more than just a string of symbols arranged for meaning. Chapter 2 of Rhetoric for Writing Teachers presents the working definition of writing as “a process of communication that uses a conventional graphic system to convey a message to a reader” (10). Understanding the dynamic interplay of the subject, message, reader, and writer is paramount to producing effective writing. Lindemann’s deconstruction of Roman Jakobson’s version of the communication diagram offers intriguing insight into the complex pathways of written communication, thus leading the writing teacher to a greater understanding of student writing difficulties. Students have often said, “Why do I have to take English?…

    PADM 302 Course Reflection My primary goals for this course were to improve my writing skills in two specific ways. I wanted to be able to write with greater speed, but with apparent quality, and I wanted to be clearer in my writing. I had two strategies in mind to meet these goals. The first included becoming proficient at writing outlines and frameworks, which, I thought, would help me better adhere to my objectives for the papers I write. The second strategy was to learn methods by which I could become more concise in writing which would enable me to more powerfully present the points I wish to deliver in papers.…

    Murray’s Write to Learn makes perfect sense to me. The concept that “writing produces writing” decribes my approach. If I sit at the computer long enough, I will come up with something. Frost said, “way leads to way” and I’ve founds that one sentence leads to the next. I find myself frustrated as a teacher when students repeatedly say that cannot think of anything to write on a topic.…

    Critical reflection Reflecting back on what I have learnt about myself as a writer is that it is okay to be aware of your weaknesses and using the necessary tools to support and strengthen them. As a writer it is good to step outside of your comfort zone and experiment with new genres. Let your writing take you on an emotional journey, and let your emotions lead your writing into a new journey. As a writer you need to expand your vocabulary and use powerful descriptive words to really create a mental image for your readers. I have learnt to understand the importance of sentence structure, drafting, and proof reading and not over using commas creating sentences that are too long.…

    As demonstrated by both Peter Elbow and Donald Murray, an author’s approach to writing a piece, whether it is written freely or structured, changes the perspective the reader will take. The different methods followed to achieve their style will depend on the purpose of each writer’s piece. The pieces “Freewriting”, by Peter Elbow, and “The Maker’s Eye: Revising Your Own Manuscript”, by Donald M. Murray, both discuss how to create competent writing; however, Elbow sees writing primarily as a process, whereas Murray sees it as a tool for achieving an end product. The authors describe the goal of each strategy, as well as the benefits obtained from the different styles of writing. They also presented the criticism and changes used to improve writing…
