-Interrogation with what I am reading (i.e., marginalia while I read)
-Summative discussion and interrogation of a source.
-Breaking down ideas and source materials into logical patterns, crafting an organized argument (often through outlining) forces me to 'distill' my thoughts to a coherent articulation (this is particularly true for presentations)
-Teaching material! Again, this forces me to distill material into its simplest forms

I learned to write by reading. Good writing SOUNDS like good writing. Conjecture is good. Precedence/historical and developmental perspectives are helpful. "Back-story".

How do I use writing to learn?
-brainstorming/jotting down my thoughts when inspired
-when beginning a paper, I start by writing everything that might be relevant or interesting or possible until I find something that might work
-powerpoint guidelines for my lessons
-annotations

What makes writing "good"?
-when the author can make something complex and/or complicated clear(er) to me as a reader
-when the author can put into words a understanding/concept that previously felt nebulous (i.e. to make concrete the abstract)
-when I feel better (more knowledgeable, confident, prepared, etc.) for having read that text

In ENG101?
Writing is "good" when a student can achieve the assigned purpose in such a way that the reader understands what is being written, why it matters, and is at least reasonably persuaded to share the writer's perspective without being distracted from content/meaning/purpose by grammatical/mechanical concerns.

Learning to write in my field:
-practice, practice, practice
-less about learning what to do as the conventions of my field align with my natural inclinations and more about learning which strategies/techniques to hone and what habits/practices to avoid
