The process of generating ideas in creative writing presents many students notable challenges. Some of the strategies students use to overcome the issue of generating writing ideas include listing, looping, nut shelling, clustering, and freewriting. I, in most cases, employ a listing strategy to generate ideas in creative writing. Before embracing this writing strategy, I relied on freewriting. Despite its applicability, freewriting is associated with a significant problem. In many cases, one ends up running short of content while writing. The most interesting writing strategy from Antiltzs Invention Strategy is “Build Ideas through Compound topics.” The latter strategy also aligns with my invention strategy (listing) since it requires an individual to think about a topic and evaluate the connection between various subtopics surrounding the main subject.  Many students are fond of using internet sources while composing their research projects. Poor usage of the internet increases a students chance of getting entangled with plagiarism. I response to high rates of plagiarism among college students, how can a student use secondary sources and internet sources and still avoid plagiarism.

​The issue of bad ideas about good writing and critical reading is among the most debated subjects in writing studies. In her essay “the history and social norms people hold towards writing,” Elizabeth Wardle claims that general writing is a false ideology. The author argues that any type of writing requires an individual to define the audience, subject, and purposes of writing. The essay makes it that good writing does not come naturally but requires proper training. Deborah Knott‘s essay Critical reading towards critical writing supports Wardle‘s thinking with an argument that critical wring forms its foundation on critical reading.  An individual achieves essential reading by looking for ways of thinking from a text.

The lessons do not sharpen students’ writing skills but also pinpoints significant mistakes students make while reading. The most compelling aspect of the course is the aspect of allowing group work. Irrespective of the latter‘s strengths, it is challenging to compose a two hundred-word response after reading a six-page document. The word limits leave students no choice but to ignore some aspects of the reading. The course should not limit the number of words a student uses to write a prompt

Audience -The essay targets English learning students majoring in creative writing. Many people cling to the ideology that creative writing is a form of general writing that does not require a writer to learn writing tactics.

How do you use rhetoric in your daily life? What messages do you try to communicate? To what audiences?

Rhetoric is all around us. We always experience new things that influence our thoughts, opinions, and actions. In other words, rhetoric shapes our daily lives. Through our sad, happy, and life-changing experiences, we create rhetoric. Through telling personal stories, I attract other people’s attention in one way or another, in a manner that the audience may relate. In doing so, it is important to analyze the situation at hand to effectively create rhetoric. Communicating to my audience is an important aspect of my life. Through interacting with the people I relate with every day, I try to inform, inspire, encourage, entertain, share good values and others.
