  • To be successful at literacy, readers need to read like a writer. In order to do this, examine the texts you read, look for techniques the author uses, and make it your own. 
  • Know what texts are for you to read, and do not assume what you interpreted is what the author meant. 
  • Use tools while you read such as annotation, highlighting, and paraphrasing in order to better understand the texts as well as remember for longer

  • Not only is writing creative, but reading is also as creative as writing. With different interpretation and imagination, reading can get just a sentence having multiple meanings that the writer did not expect. 
  • When reading and writing are learned together, the students get proficient at both much better than just learning one at a time. 
  • When reading, the readers will have their mind open for the things they read to be stored in their head, creating a whole sea of beautiful literacy skills.

  • Students come to one place to study literacy with different levels of literacy background. Giving different students an equal amount of lectures and work is not a bright idea to make them all good. 
  • There is help for students with low literacy skills (teacher, social influence).
  • Writing is a skill that requires a lot of trying, failing, learning, and repeat. 
  • Learning from successful writers is crucial because it is the only way to be like them. But to do that, the learner has to break down what techniques or decisions the author(s) uses.

  • Preparation for writing is a must, even for an expert at writing. Adequate time to let all the ideas come out, and having all tools ready to go. 
  • There are multiple driving forces that make the writers write, such as sufficient knowledge and experience, informing others, curiosity, and deadlines.
  • Rehearsal after writing is important when the writer can receive peer feedback, and fix the writing. 
  • There are multiple signals when the writers know it is the time to write, such as genres, point of view, voice, line, seeked information from readers, image, and pattern.

The concept that Mike Bunn mentioned in his article about analyzing the author's way of writing when you read could give you ideas on how to structure your writing by adopting similar traits that the authors used. 
    2. The article informs why you should learn to read like a writer since professors most likely want you to have this skill. The problem with this is that sometimes professors don't actually teach you how to master this skill resulting in the lack of production of good quality writings. 

    3. Having a set of questions about the author or about the piece of writing before you start to read could be very beneficial towards better understanding the idea of the writing. The why, and what could help you structure and have a little more research when developing your writing. ]]>     2022-08-15 18:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nepearsall/b0cfpma85oyoxjcl/wish/2261478573     Key Claims-Carillo acastroguerra https://padlet.com/nepearsall/b0cfpma85oyoxjcl/wish/2261487646 1. Reading and writing should be introduced jointly since they are not distinct topics but are interconnected.

People believe that geniuses or brilliant people are never incorrect or always know everything, however with today's technology and innovations, everyone may be challenged.

    2. According to Edward Young's research, writers are born distinctive, and good authors are born. Which was how authors perceived themselves, seeking to show that quality writing was not generated by working hard or putting your thoughts extremely well, but rather by authors' distinctive identities being born that way.

    3. The essay highlighted how literature is constantly traded among writers, such as completing research and reading someone else's writing in order to develop your own writing.]]>     2022-08-15 18:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nepearsall/b0cfpma85oyoxjcl/wish/2261489919     Key Claims-Murray acastroguerra https://padlet.com/nepearsall/b0cfpma85oyoxjcl/wish/2261568597 1. Skill is not a term to be afraid of if it is defined as something we practice and develop habits that can be taught and learned rather than something we are born with.

  • –A huge insightful topic brought up in the reading was the reference to the 20th century of literacy composition and the comparison of the 21st century advances in literary composition. SHe explains what key differences have occurred to further children's reading and writing compositions and the obstacles these children had to face to truly learn. Compared to now where there is a wide access of networks and opportunities to learn how to read and write 
  • –Another unique idea brought up in the text was the idea of collaboration and its importance among individuals, students and writers. Yacey explains the lack of communication among those in the 20th century inhibiting the advancement of ideas and knowledge that can be shared to individuals. She compares this to the Facebook post of the word “Sparta '' to help students in their AP classes and to talk to one another to share ideas and feelings, overall proving that communication is important now and very persistent due to technological changes, this allows for the advancement of education and student learning. 
    • –Another key idea Yancey explains is the change to the education system and its foundation to learning for younger students and allowing for new and different growth that will allow for dynamic ways of thinking. A concept she introduces is creating a new model for teaching, this model is a past example of how teaching can be improved and looking at this past article it shows how innovation of this idea has taken over to our present time.

  • –Diminishes the idea of copyright culture from the west, criticizes that copyright is in fact in our laws and here to protect peoples creations but their ideas are not protected by copyright, authors clean up their writing to make their writing/ project look like it was done completely alone but in reality it's done by using others ideas and collaboration.

  • Murray uses the IMRaD structure to explain the process and stages of writing. He first introduces the problem of teachers becoming frustrated with struggling student writers, next he goes into explaining the methods and stages behind writing. Lastly discusses that the writing process results in a “voice,” that will create the writers’ first line for their topic.(Pg 5-6) He proposes that struggling student writers should be given council.  
  • One of his most important signals, that he reiterates multiple times, is the “Law of Delay.” (Pg. 2)
  • Murray writes that the more the writer is educated about the subject, the more strongly they will feel about it, and the more “voice,” they will have.”

  • Yancey wants to educate students as well as motivate them to become writers that contribute to future advances in literacy. 
  • She explains the history behind the evolution of writing to teach student writers of it’s importance, of how, in the past, reading was used as a means to spread societal/monarchal ideas and how writing was prohibited or negatively associated because it started discussions and created ideas/questions that went against those of society. Just like how we learned about John Locke and his ideas starting the Enlightenment Era. 
  • Writing has, through the centuries, become more accessible to all, people can request for help, communicate with others, and now writing is no longer as tedious as in the past when there was only a typewriter or quill, ink, and parchment. Now writing has evolved to a point where it is considered an art, a means to liberate, a coping mechanism, anything and everything, writing contains a different meaning for everyone.

  • Provides elementary school now connecting writing and reading as one practice and by reading they were able to identify certain writing patterns with genres to include in their own writing proposing that colleges should adopt this literacy framework

  • There are forces that prevent writers from writing and pushes a writer to write. The force preventing them from writing is resistance. The forces that push them to write are: increasing information, concern, waiting audience, and the deadline. 
  • The delay to write is not something to be afraid of because it allows for our brains to think and organize information to be able to start rehearsing the writing. Rehearsing the writing being the process of us trying to write or think out our sentences or thoughts.
