I currently approach the reading in the course very cautiously. When reading any of the material in or out of class, I take my time. It is important to do so because by going to quick, there is a chance of missing some of the material. By reading slowly I can assure myself that I have better chance of taking in more information.

The Writing Journey Revision is the act of revising, it is to correct, edit and redraft. When I begin to revise a paper, first I reread what I wrote then afterwards, I read it aloud, the human mind won’t necessarily point out the mistakes because the brain will correct what you read and implement it to what needs to be there.

After the initial work of conceiving ideas and thoughtfully organizing them, then it’s time to get down to work and create sentences and paragraphs that will communicate to the reader the ideas you have. Each sentence, in its own way, tells a story. For it to be effective in telling the story, you must be able to put the sentence together, scrutinize it, and correct any problems the sentence might have. Unlike spoken language, written language does not give the luxury of a back and forth exchange. It is not possible to know if the reader understands, nor is it possible to go back and fill in the…
From the moment that you are born to the moment where you learn how to read and write, there has been the theory of reading and writing. The theory of reading and writing varies among each person. The second day of class, we talked about what good reading and writing was. We discussed that good reading skills are, “ Retaining information, it is challenging, but not taxing, the topic informs, and it gives an opinion.” (notes). We also discussed that writing should “entertain, be on topic, inform, and persuade.” (notes).
