Thlog 8

I think that by far the most helpful example in class last week was the door example of how we can’t go into writing thinking that we know everything. It’s always necessary for me to be reminded that everyday is a new opportunity to prove myself through my writing. I have to admit that for me it’s always discouraging to receive a lower grade than I was expecting and it’s something i need to work on.
The examples that we reviewed in class of the sample WP3s were extremely helpful.
The last time I had reviewed summaries was most likely in third grade. Teachers/professors usually assume that we know what we’re doing because we were taught how to summarize in elementary school. It was helpful to reminded of why we summarize and what we should keep in mjnd when we summarize.
          Activity 8.2 was also a nice reminder of framing. I usually think of framing as a component of film. I think of framing shots in a scene and how that’s a way to control the perspective and information that is displayed for the student. I tend to forget that framing is applicable to writing, and the way I frame subjects is very influential for the readers. I would consider the way we frame things a move, because it’s a deliberate decision made.
          As I revise my WP3 i want to focus on the flow that McCloud mentioned in his article. Due to the fact that I have a certain audience in mind when I’m writing these pieces I want to make sure that my flow is logical for my audience. I have enjoyed the creative part of the WP3 so far; I’m just a little worried about the reflection part afterwards. I know that there are reasons of why i made the moves that I made it’s just the 5-6 page criteria that intimidates me.
