Writing is contextual as mentioned in chapter 6 (Rhetoric) when you write you have to keep in mind who your audience is. We tend to write different when we write more formally VS when we message our friends via text. When texting your friends we tend to not worry as much about our grammar,  VS when we are writing out our resume we are worried about our writing coming off as more appropriate. 

2. When Jaydelle mentions hearing Ms. Patrick in his head saying "paint their minds with your creativity Jaydelle be descriptive, reel them in" Jaydelle claims she is in his mind criticizing and always coaching him to be a better writer and focus on his grammar and punctuality. 

3.  When we text our friends and families depending on who we are talking to we tend to not worry as much about our formality. I notice when I text my co-worker or manager at work I tend to worry about how I message him and was it appropriate, even an email we have to focus how we make our writing appropriate. We tend to make sure depending on our setting office, home church, we make sure to not offend or come off as inappropriate.

4. Threshold concept people collaborating to get things done when it comes to writing (Chapter 7- communities). Writing helps us communicate on our everyday life we all as friends, teacher, government leaders come together as a community  to get things done we can see a connection between the two concepts seeing that we would talk differently when it comes to our friends then we would the president of the united states ]]> 2022-06-22 14:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/thxmb5vgpz/dcoqqikjkl2x5dy3/wish/2227937237 Trusting an Imperfect Process by: Freshta, Bishoy, and Nick https://padlet.com/thxmb5vgpz/dcoqqikjkl2x5dy3/wish/2228140667 1. Writing as a process refers to the overall development of your text. The process of writing is subjective, imperfect, and  continuously evolving as it draws from our own personal relationships with writing. There is no exact way of how you should go about your own respective process; alternatively, it should fit your writing style and what works best for you. 

2. On page 416, Jaydelle reveals to us how usually, he needs a time frame along with editing whilst constructing his text. However, his writing process has changed completely to where instead of editing and revising his work as he wrote, he simply wrote everything down as it came to mind. He found that this allowed him more flexibility in his writing process. Then on pages 420-423, he tells us of his personal history with writing structures demanded by schools and the effect they had on his writing process as a whole. With this, he further elaborates the pivotal point that is how not only one's writing as a whole, but how one's writing process is bound to change overtime. Finally, in his conclusion he reflects upon how his process has changed and how it was all of the little nuances he has picked up from the many different environments that have changed and that have granted him more control over his process overtime.

3. All of us have our own preferred writing process based off our own personal likes and dislikes, as well as, our own unique experiences with writing. The best process is simply what works for you. For example everyone in our group can relate to preferring a peaceful environment when constructing a given text. However, some of us in this group prefer music in the background to help stay focused. Neither is incorrect for the writing process is subjective.

4. Your identity often has a lot to do with how you carry out your writing process. We feel that your previous involvement with writing, what you think about writing, and when you started to learn to read and write, all play a large role in how you may go about your own writing process. All of these various questions regarding identity are the very foundation of how you may begin to construct your writing process and to configure what works best for you. Identity is also the reason there is no perfected universal way to go about the writing process. This is because we all have our own experiences and come from various backgrounds that can all be applied to write in a process that best suites you.

1  In our reading, we agree that it was about how writing can be very different among groups of people, and circumstances( situations), depending on how you feel.
2 Quote from page 424 of the PDF, "Ms. Patrick taught me back home that to be successful in conveying an effective message one must know how to appeal
to the senses of whom they are speaking to." is the evidence for our concept. This is about  being able to effectively communicate with different people that you work with. 
3 We see this concept of writing when we text to our friends and family by writing more slang words or abbreviation.
But for managers at work we use formal words to show the respects. When you write an essay for college acceptance, there's more harder work to write compared to high school English assignment because we implicitly understand the professors would expect more academic skills than high school teachers do.
 4 One of the threshold concept, "process" is connected to our concept "collaborations." The concept of process is about learning new ways to write and writers never stop learning which explains that the writing process always need to practice, revise and feedback to fit into the different circumstances. In the concept of collaborative writing, this is used as communicating to others, sharing the ideas, solving the problems to find the way of better and effective writing to convey what you want to do and how you want to tell. It is related to the process of leaning; we try to figure out how our writing can be effective or be appropriate to the situations that we've never faced. To find an effective way of writing, it is necessary to learn how to communicate what we write to the different kind of readers.  ]]> 2022-06-23 15:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/thxmb5vgpz/dcoqqikjkl2x5dy3/wish/2229008919
