Being able to listen to other people and their ideas is how one can be more elaborate in their academic writing. It allows us to expand our ideas beyond just our brain. I chose this quote because often English teachers tell students to always listen and share ideas with other students to expand your thinking. Can others ideas make our academic writing bad? ]]> 2023-09-19 16:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2711213353 dgarciapa0002 https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2711216958 "to challenge standard ways of thinking, and thus to stir up controversy. This point may come as a shock to you if you have always had the impression that in order to succeed academically you need to play it safe and avoid controversy in your writing, making statements that nobody can possibly disagree with." 
Why are people so scared of controversy and expressing their opinions? We don't all have to agree on each other statements. I chose this quote because in this generation everything is controversial if someone doesn't agree with you, but in writing being controversial is what makes one think. It challenges the reader to disagree or even agree.

We are taught to summarize, summarize and summarize, but many students may find it hard because they might not know what to say. One has to go back and forth with whatever the person is reading. It's hard to put many words into a short summary without being biased or not providing all the necessary information or making sense. ]]> 2023-09-26 01:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720240723 dgarciapa0002 https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720241709 I disagree with this quote that it's a long list of summaries that discourage kids from doing them. Rather I think that its because we don't know how to properly read an article and keep in mind the focus of it to be able to write a summary. We know that summary contain important key points about what is being read but with so much information its hard not to list and list again without being to fully explain or comprehend what is happening. ]]> 2023-09-26 01:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720241709 dgarciapa0002 https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720242110 I have never been taught that a summary had to include my own interest. I find this quote interesting because it's my first time learning what a balanced summary is. The way I got this information or the way I interpreted was that I need to be able to create connections to myself as a writer and the writer whose work I am summarizing. ]]> 2023-09-26 01:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720242110 dgarciapa0002 https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720242559 I found this quote to be engaging, in order for a summary to be believed you need to have credibility. Seeing that we can be very biased when writing a summary having credibility like quotes can help the writer (us) be able to create balance. I always thought that quoting was my credibility. ]]> 2023-09-26 01:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720242559 dgarciapa0002 https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720242925 I took this quote as a tip for my future summary writings. When I read I never think about which quotes can support what I need to say or summarize. I don't plan when I pick a quote to support my summary. Rather I pick a quote and mold it into how I want it to fit in my summary. Now I notice that I can be very biased when selecting quotations that support my writing. ]]> 2023-09-26 01:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720242925 dgarciapa0002 https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720243302 I chose this quote because its a simple tip into how to properly use a quote. Introducing (top) and explaining (bottom). The sandwich method will help me correctly write a summary with quotes or just use quotes and create connections. ]]> 2023-09-26 01:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720243302 dgarciapa0002 https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720243624 This quote about "overly explaining quotes is better than having a small explanation" is very conflicting to me. If a writer over explains something it makes the reader bored but if a writer doesn't explain something it leaves the reader wondering and clueless. So the question is what is the right amount of explanation? How can I explain a quote without having to bore the reader? I wish this quote would provide more of an example to which extent this hack or tip would work. ]]> 2023-09-26 01:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dgarciapa0002/uv4uhrbetwkmi44f/wish/2720243624
