3. Choose one of these issues to discuss: Why or how would your research of this issue represent an example of “intrinsic motivation” for you?
I would research this topic since I have seen how mental health challenges have affected people around me. Learning more about the topic could also help me understand how to support others and myself better and to use resources that are available to me
2. Why are these issues important to you?
I've had issues myself with those issues
1. What are some personal experiences you have that relate to larger social issues?
Some personal experience that I've had to larger social issues is in the military; there were always problems with mental health, especially during deployment times.
Here, reading is more about satisfying your personal curiosities about life’s conundrums,
Reading about more personal curiosities about life's problems can help you learn because its personalized to you so it might make you want to learn more about that topic
research engages you in solving real issues in the world that have meaning for you beyond the page
I feel like the best research is the ones that solve the real issues in our world
far from just finding answers to somebody else’s questions
You can learn by asking your own questions to topics
and starts with your curiosity: asking your own questions, questions about real-life issues that matter to you, that hit close to home, that are related to your experience.
Curiosity helps with asking your own questions that you have personal interests in.
make certain you present it to your audience professionally.
Proper format helps your writing look more professional
Proofreading
This is an easier fix nowadays due to technology
Reading Aloud
I don't often read aloud, but maybe i should try it
Also audiences tend to be forgiving of a cranky introduction if the thesis statement and body paragraphs are clear and developed.
Sometimes it's a struggle to make a good topic sentence but as long as the main body is flushed out well you should be alright
the reverse outline helps you see your paper again with new eyes,
Very helpful to me to check again for the way you organize each paragraph
Think Dr. Evil from Austin Powers as your thesis statement and Mini-Me as your topic sentences
Funny but helpful reference
Revision is the real work of writing and is the most time consuming step of the writing process.
I've always had the most trouble with revising my writing
trying new types of writing plans for different writing assignments can be helpful to organize and develop your ideas.
Using different plans for certain assignments can help organization
Take breaks to avoid being overwhelmed and losing focus.Break each step down into smaller steps to complete over a few hours, days, or weeks, depending on how much time you have.Keep in mind the process is recursive so you may need to move back and forth between steps as you follow your writing process.Be open to new ideas and deeper understandings of the topic that you generate from working on your writing in steps.
All helpful tips that I could utilize in my writing process
creating a solid writing process, one that takes time to move through, as all processes do, you may feel the dread fade because you will know which steps to take and understand how each step leads you to your final destination
The more writing you do, you'll continue to grow and figure out your own writing process
the kind we want to read and share and read again
find writing that speaks to you and It'll be easier to read and write about that text.
Accepting all offers means to be open to the feedback you are receiving, which you take and then evaluate it to see if and how you will use in your revision plan.
You don't have to accept their feedback but it could sometimes be helpful to you as long as you keep a open mind
We will engage in various forms of peer feedback in our class over the term.
I enjoy having peer feedback it gives me more angles on how others see my writing
Discovering new information about your topic can occur at any point in the writing process
You can find new info even at the last sentence
Time to Draw!
Lines with emotion are still just lines to me
Taking a step away from your writing plan and looking at it after a pause, you will see where and how you might explain connections, develop the connection/s you see between your topics and evidence, which is your analysis.
Looking back at your writing may help you find points that you may have missed or add to the points you already have.
listen to you talk through your paper
When I do this, I always judge myself pretty harshly and start over from scratch
visually organize and represent your thoughts
I like to use visualization for most of my readings
Typically, you begin with your main idea and branch out from it. Where you choose to place your main idea on your page is up to you.
You choose your own way to start and how you want your writing to go from there.
Consider and reflect on your writing process by reading about the steps writers take as they write for academic and professional purposes
It's always a plus to learn from a pro
a parallel text set is essentially a different type of “text,” such as a video, which “parallels” the traditional text
I've always enjoyed having visuals that go with the text
Each time you try a new strategy that works for you, and continue to use and practice that strategy, you will be able to persist through any difficult text you encounter
It's nice to see that you have different strategies you can use when you hit a roadblock; instead of giving up, you could try a different approach than the one you were using.
If you still have difficulty figuring out this difficult section of the text, don’t despair! Struggling through these moments of understanding and solving these problems is where your growth will happen
It's ok to struggle here and there as long as there's some kind of progress being made
The point is: not all reading is the same, and it is important to develop awareness of how to be flexible as a reader, recognizing the particular conventions of a ‘genre’ and discipline or subject, and adapting your reading strategies accordingly
Not everybody reads the same just like how not everybody has the same writing or learning style
I have always used personalized symbols in the margins of texts, like a star for ideas I like, a “Q” for Quotes I may use in my essays or papers, a “!” for an alarming or surprising idea. I often use ? for difficult or confusing concepts that I want to return to later, if I still don’t understand it by the time I’m finished reading the article or chapter. Or I’ll use that annotated question as a chance to engage in discussion with others and better understand the text later in class, with the help of my colleagues.
Make your annotations unique to you so its easier to look back on later
I would not sell back my textbooks, largely because I had spent so much time annotating in the margins that I felt a certain amount of ownership over those books and course readers by the term’s end.
It becomes something personal to you after putting in that much effort throughout the term so I would do the same thing
real interests and passions;
To me, the most important thing in the learning process
When you are more active in your own reading process, you not only comprehend and retain the information better — reading becomes dynamic and interactive
Engagement with the text helps you retain a more interactive approach in your own writing.
In other words, the reader is not a robot or a passive bystander in the rhetorical situation below, but an active meaning-maker in conversation with the author of the text.
I feel like I only do active reading if it's either a subject/genre I'm really into or It's for a project or assignment for school. If It's neither of those things I feel like I'm more of a passive to dynamic reader.
Using reading as a way into writing helps you make connections, solve problems, and make texts meaningful for you and others around you.
So the more you like a specific style of book the more you'd want to get into that type of writing for yourself. For instance I enjoy the writing style of stephen king and would like to have even a fraction of the amount of writing prowess he does.
The best way to increase your vocabulary, formality, or other skills, habits, and choices that professional writers make, for example, is by reading, and specifically reading in the discipline in which you wish to write.
How can I find out which specific reading discipline would be most beneficial for my writing?
Introduce persistence as an academic habit of success,
I want to become more persistent in my personal academic education.
Skimming is an important pre-reading step because it gives you a sense of the text before you start going in-depth, where you practice various ways of annotating, reading like a writer, mind mapping, and close reading (all described in detail below).
Skimming is important to the reader so you can get a general idea on the reading that you'll be doing for that writing.
What do you still want to know? What questions were not answered when you read, and do you think you could find them if you re-read the text? What new questions were sparked during your reading process?
Re-reading is important to make sure you fully understand the text and have no further questions about that section.
What do you want to know? What questions do you have? Where does your natural curiosity take you?
This is a big part of my reading process I always enjoyed asking questions.
Even a marvelously gifted teacher can’t always figure out the right question to ask a given student at just the right time,
The best teachers ask the most questions and ask students questions about how they got to their answer.
pedagogy
This word threw me off for a second, and I had to go look up the definition. "Learning". :)
In more traditional classrooms, students are rarely asked what they’ve been wondering about.
The more traditional classroom has pre-set questions instead of letting the students create their own first.
to teach become highly motivated scholars because the curriculum is centered on questions — indeed, on their questions —
Becoming motivated is easier with passion for the subject.
To promote the idea of questioning is to swim against the tide.
"One In a krillion" Will the krill- Surfs up
We can set an example by being willing to ask whether a rule makes sense, whether an institution is legitimate
Question the underlying principles of what we accept as right or wrong, rather than accepting them without scrutiny.
Why is it so hard to find a cure for cancer? Do numbers ever end? Why do people lie? Why did we invade Vietnam?
Asking the right question is more important than having an immediate answer.
To begin, let’s consider what we might ask our students.
"The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, The man who does not ask is a fool for life". - Confucius
I propose that we start with the customary way of framing this topic
What is the customary way of framing?
becausethere’snotone setofrules forgenerating good writingthatworkswithinanysinglediscipline,letaloneacrossmultipledisciplines.
I think that everyone has their own writing process but it's also good to look outside of yourself to maybe learn a different angle to writing.
