    Well, hello, I know that I am coming into this very far behind. I'm catching up since I've had a plague in my life this entire semester. Dealing with household issues and COVID problems to an older Mother who I look after to problems with TWO, not just one bad tooth but two impaired teeth that has been highlighted by the lack of being able to find competent Dental assistance. So, I've been catching as I can. I am finally doing better and I must say. Drugs can be a godsend, when you truly need them.

    I am going to start adding my entries to this blog location. Hopefully I pray that I will catch up to all the assigned blog pages that need to be completed.

 Reading "Writing Together" made me realize that the authors relate to readers' feelings. My professor is a jerk is common and results in not earning an A.  Experiencing work online as a student can be rough, given that every teaching pedagogy is different. Discussion boards in classes aren't the same. Personally, face-to-face classes provide more interaction and deeper, rapid answering discussions. If a topic is brought up, at that moment you can ask a follow-up question. A discussion board can on very rare occasions be consistently discussed. Overall, the POV the author provides from a student's perspective helped me as a reader understand perception on both ends.

 I wanted to talk about Bastian's piece about bringing the funk back into the classroom because she brought up another important classroom issue. While I had talked about how code-meshing will help students get past their language insecurities, there was something I had also never thought of, the conventions of a writing classroom. She talks about the importance of teaching students to take risks in the classroom because it can enhance their ability to think critically and authentically. Like what I said, code-meshing will do for students whose first language is not Dominant American English. She talks about how students are way too accustomed to making safe choices and sticking to what is appropriate for a classroom environment- that the standard has been so rigidly set, it hinders creativity. when she mentioned some of the activities she did, like having the students draw or having them do a multimodal project where they have the freedom to choose their medium, they were all perp...

 “Defining the rhetorical situation requires assessing the writer’s relationship to the subject and the reader” (192).  For a writing assignment to be effective, it must account the students’ interest in and understanding of the subject, the purpose or aim of the composition, the audience, a role for the student to take with respect to the subject and audience, and the form of discourse (which needn’t always be an essay) (194). Teachers must vary the rhetorical situations to give students practice writing different modes for different audiences. This chapter addresses the idea of standardized testing with writing, emphasizing that multiple-choice tests on grammatical elements do not test writing skills. If a teacher wants to evaluate writing skills, the students must write. I like this because the student has to be interactive and interact with their writing. Many students aren't good test-takers and given they will be writing for the rest of their lives, one can assume it is ...
