English 1S and 242A Class Blog

This blog is an interactive place where you can share your writing with your classmates. The blog creates a great place for writing because it can easily be seen by other students in our class, and you can respond to your classmates' work, taking their ideas further. The blog format is meant to be less formal and more creative than the academic essays you write in class. This is where you can explore your voice as a writer, and take some risks with your style and ideas. Happy blogging!

Activity Assessment

A strategy or activity that I have found to be effective in not only class readings but other readings as well, is chewing over what I just read. Truly thinking about the text is a really good way of getting a full understanding of the main point and arguments that the writer is trying to express.

I find this effective as well! I try to relate the reading to myself or current life events and I find that it makes it useful when I think about what I read over and over again. I even find myself thinking about the reading at odd times when I shouldn't be but it tends to come to me more naturally now.
