3/23 in class assignment 1 RWL

1. 1.Reading like a writer is different from the way I read for other classes, because in other classes I am purely reading for information. I am not going through my readings and analyzing words and phrases the author used. I am also not asking myself questions throughout my reading. I am simply reading for information.

2. 2. The biggest choices that you can make as writer is that the readers take notice of is your word choice. Your word choice sets the stage for which audience your targeting as well as the tone of your paper.

3. 3. I like the idea of constantly questioning what audience the author is targeting and what the purpose of this piece is. I also like the idea of highlighting certain passages and then examining the techniques the author tried using. During my next assigned reading I could use these strategies to avoid confusion and get a better understanding of the reading.

4. 4.To know information about a paper before you actually read it, you can examine the genre that it was written for, and the audience it was intended for. Another clue that will tell you about the reading is the purpose of the article.

  1. Hi Lucas. Full credit for your first post. Please remember to preview before posting. I don't think you wanted two numbers for each list item.
