Thinking & writing
They are very well relate, in a very unique way, they cannot
exist separately, one without the other; they are like the sun and the life in
our planet earth, where the sun is the thinking and the life on earth is the
writing, as the sun gives light and life to the planet, the thinking gives life
to the writing, therefore there isn't any writing without thinking, as well as
there isn't any thinking without reading. Now we got a third one in the
equation thinking plus reading equals writing. Consequently there isn't any
writing without reading and thinking before.
And by reading I mean understanding everything in a
very holistic form, it's not just to read any printed source, but to trying to
understand and communicate with everything and everybody in each and every
second of our life. There for I think then I communicate or like a famous
author ones say, “Think therefore I exist. (Emanuel Kant).
Writing in three different languages
Writing in English is like making a stop and pause for
a good period of time reflecting about something, and it's the same when I
write in my own language (Spanish), but writing in French is another whole
world because I still leaning it, therefore it takes me a lot of time to come
up with something at least grammatically correct.
My possible subject for my first writing project could
be:
Critical thinking: because it's it attracts my
attention very much and think it's very useful for my career.
My contribution to the review of the article
Barbara's two section of classes
First class
-Write one page summary about Raymond William's essay
-Write three questions about
-The audience for the summary was a hypothetical
absent student
-She gives to the students a list of effective
summaries in specified context
-Homework was to get copies for the whole class of the
summary and questions that they did
Second class
-Divided the class into two groups, each group with
one part of the essay making discussion about it, developing join understanding
-Unified the class and present their thought to the
rest of the class
-Form a discussion about with the questions that they
did
- Collect all summaries distributing them for peer
critique,
I think this is a very effective way of involving the
students in their writing assignments, and it makes them more aware of what they
think and write. Or as the author say developing disciplinary authority or being
part or citizen of a determinate academic discipline.
