So We Know It’s A Writing Topic Summary For Chapter 46.

Chapter 46 from Rules for Writers by Diana Hacker, which was about "Writing about Texts" talked about different ways on how to analyze a text. Annotate is one helpful way to take notes for the text that you are reading. It also states that underlining, marking points, or circling elements can be very helpful. It also gave you examples on how to analyze text for written and visual texts. It also talked about active reading and it guidelines on how to do it better. One important thing it talked about summaries and how to write them. It stated to mention the tittle of the text, the name of the author and the authors visual central point. Also maintain a neutral tone, use the third person view, keep focus on the text, keep summary in your own words, and use quotations if necessary. She also states that we should understand the different types of texts that are giving to us.

I plan to use this information very well because it is very helpful to make notes or highlight when an assignment is given to you. Also I think it is a great idea to write down what we think while we read a text. Also the information that was giving regarding on how to create a summary was very helpful and I mark down this page so when I have to do an assignment I will have it for a reference. I will have to do a lot of reading in my biology 10 class and I will sure use what I'm learning in English class.

"Freewriting Exercise Assignment"

What is a freewriting? It's when you write about anything you want or a subject, however you write none stop for about 10 minutes or even more. You continue to write even if you have nothing to say you such write down words, there is no rules and just say what's on your mind. I believe this is a great exercise for writing even though a lot of people it's not and that it's garbage. How freewriting facilitates stronger writing is by helping the mind get more free and also it can give you ideas for your assignment. It can help you get a structure going for the assignment that you are giving.
I found this reading very helpful because i know that in English there are a lot of rules and if sometimes I just free my mind then it would help me out like doing freewriting for the assignment. I am very terrible at English and hopefully doing freewriting will help me out a bit. I found it astonishing that a lot of people believe that freewriting is garbage and a waste of time. I hope that I learn a lot from this class and doing the freewriting, I think this is a great assignment.

Introduction!

Hello Everyone,

I have lived in Santa Rosa all my life, I am 24years old, but hope to travel a lot hopefully in a few years.I am attending this class because I need it to get into English 1A. I am attending the SRJC because I want to become a Nurse(RN). I have been attending the SRJC for a few semesters all ready, which is very hard because I have a full time job as an Medical Assistant and also have a 7 year old boy at home. I hope to learn a lot from this class so it can better my English skills. I also hope one day to own my own restaurant so I will be starting to take some business classes next semester. I am a fast learner and more of a hands on learner.  Most of the time I like to do my work ahead of time, but sometimes it is impossible to do, but I manage the situation.
I hope we all do great in this class, I have been taking a lot of online classes and they are the best with out them it would be so much harder for me to attend college. I hope we all have a great fall and everyone enjoy the class. I am very excited to read the book that we have for the class.
Thank You,
Maura
