1. In the past, I’ve utilized the “Ask Critical Questions Where X Is Your Topic Or The Problem You’re Investigating” technique to produce ideas. This technique was beneficial to me because it allowed me to learn and get a lot of fresh ideas and facts while conducting research. What hasn’t worked for me is finding good/resourceful statics material, which can be difficult to come by, for example, on my topic, “Why Getting Started On Assignments Can Be Difficult For Some Students.”
2. When it comes to having a wonderful questioning approach to go deeper into my issue, the Stasis Theory method was the most intriguing Invention Strategies that I thought was the most beneficial for me. I believe it aided me greatly because it allowed me to gather a great deal of information on my issue and to clearly articulate the various causes and effects of it.
3. As a result of my invention activities, I was able to learn new things due to all of the research, information, and ideas that were shared with me.
4. My tentative Research Question is, “Why Getting Started On Assignments Can Be Hard For Some Students.”

The fundamental argument that was disputed throughout the text, “Face to Face Courses Are Superior To Online Courses,” by Tiffany Bourelle and Andy Bourelle, was that online courses are inferior to classes given in person, which are superior. Both two authors emphasize that these objectives are not the same, since one makes it easier for students to study and obtain a good education, while the other makes learning, understanding, and obtaining a good education difficult and confusing for students. The reason for this is because students have a hard time understanding and gaining information from what is stated or taught when a professor or a teacher is teaching to you or giving you the necessary resources via a computer/laptop or even a phone. It is also more difficult for learners to communicate with their peers, both in terms of forming friends and peer editing. As a result, it is more apparent for in-person learning and courses since students have far more options and a greater likelihood of gaining a wealth of knowledge and receiving a superior education. Students will also be able to interact with their peers face to face, speak with teachers, and participate in an open environment. KippTexas.org reports that Kipp Texas Public Schools agrees that in-person learning is the best alternative for children. “When students are in the same physical setting, making connections feels natural and it is unquestionably easier to reach out to classmates and teachers alike. In-person classes lead to organic discussions where students can bounce ideas off of one another. For remote classes, by contrast, the on-screen dynamic can be impersonal and largely anonymous. “There is little sense of friendship or relationship between the students that would usually be built in traditional in-person classes,” says Daphane Carter, KIPP Texas State Superintendent and Chief Academic Officer. ” This reflects the idea that in-person lessons are necessary and better for students to socialize and acquire a proper education, where they are truly learning and understanding what the teacher or professor is saying, as asserted by school owners. My opinion on the issue of online vs. in-person learning is that in-person learning is superior since students can not only learn better, but they can also socialize with people face to face, which includes making new friends and joining clubs. I’ve noticed that this topic gets a lot of people discussing and expressing their own opinions on how they feel about online vs. in-person education, and that despite the fact that in-person learning is the preferable option for children, there are a lot of students and parents that disagree. Some may disagree, claiming that they prefer getting their education online since it is more convenient and because they are at home. I agree with some of these points, however I recommend learning in person because it will benefit you both mentally and academically. Throughout all of this, I wonder if those who believe if online courses are superior to face to face courses will ever change their minds, maybe if they did go in person (if vaccine was taken)and agree that in person is superior and the way to go…?

You Can Learn To Write In General By: Elizabeth Wardle

Social  Norms: In this reading, one of the social norms that is displayed is that there is no such thing as writing in general. Writing gives you the freedom to be “particular,” as she puts it. It is not drawn to technical writing written in a subjective tone and personal style, but it does have context. Wardle does not want writers to feel compelled in any manner when it comes to how they write; instead, if you want to improve as a writer, it’s all about practice and research.

Audience: The target audience for this reading is primarily incoming freshmen college students who should prepare to compose essays for college lecturers. Wardle speaks to her audience in a confident manner, persuading them to don’t let writing in general get to you, because there is no such thing as it.

Speaker: Elizabeth Wardle is the speaker in “You Can Write In General.” She is a Howe English college professor and the director of Miami University’s Roger and Joyce Howe Center for Writing Excellence (Oxford, OH). She has directed the writing programs at the University of Central Florida and the University of Dayton, that has fueled her continuous interest in how students use and transfer prior writing skills, as well as how courses and programs might best help students learn to write more effectively.

Message: Wardle’s message throughout the text is that she wants her writers to improve as writers by studying and exploring the perspectives that can lead you to focus on one issue and move on to the next in the way that you think is important. This means that if writers/students want to improve, they must apply these abilities to their everyday writing. Wardle wants her people to develop and she has so much trust that it will happen, just by her tone throughout the text.

Purpose: Wardle brings up the idea that learning how to write,”…tells us that every new situation, audience, and purpose requires writers to learn to do and understand new possibilities and constraints for their writing.”

Context: The kairos/timing/exigence for Elizabeth Wardle’s “You Can Learn To Write In Generic” is that people often feel forced to write “general,” which is writing that covers a wide range of topics or is based on imaginative prose. When you don’t know who someone is, there should be no formal writing. This is why Wardle uses her voice to communicate with her audience, informing them that there is no such thing as in writing in general, so don’t imagine there is or adopt that style. It should be able to allow writers to continue to learn and experiment with various types of writing in new contexts.
