Critical Reading, Writing, & My Learning Patterns

When I was reading the four stories from the learners in chapter three, I noticed that each of them used different patterns to write their papers. Makayla was one learner that used sequence first. She was very inquiring when it came down to what she was asked to do. Makayla needed to know too much and in this case it led her to have a duel and repetitious assignment. The advice I would give Makayla would be to field fit this, trying to focus using a different learning pattern or approach. Makayla should have written her thoughts down first and not worried so much about being correct, so she would be able to provide new information and a more clearly written paper. Another way for Makayla to field fit would be to start in the middle and not focus on a specific laid out plan. Begging and end come last. While reading about the second learner John, I read that he had used precision first. In using precision first, he stumbled over everything he was trying to say and also had written too much unnecessary information. With John doing this, it led his family to confusion and made it hard to plan anything. Seeing as how this was the only way of communication for him at the time, John should have written a more simple direct message and paid more attention to whom his audience was. Field Fitting this situation can be a difficult process in the since that without all the information needed, it is hard to rearrange anything . As for his family, I would have told them to take out the extra things he had to say and try to focus more on the importance. My advice for john would be that when writing anything, make sure you know your audience, and to pay attention to what you're writing and who you are writing it to; especially if it's the only form of communication you have available to you. Reading the third learners stories, I see that they used technical reasoning . Paul was more concerned about completion

    Chapter 1 of Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing: A Brief Guide to Argument by Sylvan Barnet, Hugo Bedau, and John O’Hara states that critical thinking has been misunderstood as negative and should be understood as the act of being able to think skillfully, observationally and consciously. This chapter also discusses that a critical thinker should not act upon opinionated and prejudgment beliefs, but should take consideration, and make themselves knowledgeable by finding factual information before making certain claims. Thus making the critical thinker capable of having sound judgment by being able to analyze the situation at hand intelligently and deliberately. In this chapter, I learned that being a critical thinker, reader and writer requires being capable of finding solutions to ideas, questions, and concerns by becoming aware of circumstances.…

    Makayla may benefit with a little more confluence or technical reasoning and a little less sequence. She could broaden her horizons with the confluence. Reach out for new ways to come to a conclusion with her testing and homework. The technical reasoning may help her as well by using a more hands on approach towards her work. The confluence would help her become more original in her homework and testing as well.…

    Frederick Douglass was a black slave who lived during the 1800s who lived with his mistress and her husband. Being a slave for life, you were not allowed to be educated in reading or writing; however his mistress had begun to educate him. His mistress was a kind-hearted woman who was glad to educate Douglass, but her under her husband’s influence she became fierce and ceased to instruct him. What Douglass means when he writes that “education and slavery were incompatible with each other” (paragraph 2) is they are mismatched and do not apply with each other. A slave cannot be educated or intelligent because when a person is “a slave for life,” (paragraph 7) they have no use for an education.…

    As I wrote my literacy narrative, I learned many new things about how to perfect my writing. I used to always begin my writing process with an outline, because this is what I was taught in high school, but this time I tried a new strategy. I learned this new strategy from the text, Shitty First Drafts. First I typed up a bunch of nonsense that I wanted in my paper. Then I went back and put it all in order and made sense of it. This definitely made writing a 1000-word narrative a whole lot easier. Although after I had done this I realized that I didn’t go back in and change my past and present tense verbs. This caused some confusion later when I had others peer edit my paper, but I made sure to fix those errors on my final draft. I learned a…

    “Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages you have.” A favorite quote from the book, The Great Gatsby, fits this essay perfectly. Frederick Douglass’s Learning To Read and Write is part of an intriguing autobiography. A slave learning to read and write was a great accomplishment back then. Additionally, a slave running away was a horrible crime to commit. Douglass points out that slaves were not meant to read or write. He makes a plan to learn how to read from the little white boys on the streets. Freedom, he wanted freedom like any slave would. He found a way to write, he found a way to get his story out to millions, by learning how to write.…

    “Learning to Read and Write” by Fredrick Douglas is a story about a slave breaking the bondage of ignorance by learning to read and write. During the course of 7 years Douglas discreetly teaches himself to read and write by means of stealing newspapers, trading food with poor white boys for knowledge and books, as well as copying his master’s handwriting. Douglas learning to read gave him extreme awareness of his condition as he says “…I would at times feel that learning to read had been a curse rather than a blessing. It had given me a view of my wretched condition, without the remedy” (Page 168-169). With his new consciousness he suffered with depression envying his fellow slaves for their “stupidity.” But, like a true underdog, Douglas perseveres and through hope he escapes to the freedom of the North. There’s a quote by Harriet Tubman “I freed a thousand slaves, and could have freed a thousand more if they had known they were slaves.” Throughout the essay Douglas evaluates his slave master’s ignorance, his fellow slaves ignorance, and most importantly his own.…

    “Learning how to Read and Write by Frederick Douglass is based on the very unfair life of this little boy (Douglass) who was born a slave. In his essay Douglass began expressing how his mistress was a very kind woman when he met her. This kind woman started to teach him how to read. However after her husband forbade her to teach him, she transformed herself in this evil person. He also learned his slaveholders did not want him to learn how to read because the slaveholders maintain power by keeping the slaves controlled, confused and ignorants. Otherwise the slaves will become out of control. Douglass teaches himself how to read in many ways possible and he succeeded. However he did not enjoyed as much as he though because he found out how miserable his life as slave for life was. He discovered that learning how to read was not the key for him to be a free man.…

    For a moment I thought the author had gone back into time and took a look at my notes from yesteryears. I was a perfect example of a passive learner who would highlight un-important phrases and sentences until I had a colored a lot of nothing. Active learners highlight less and try to grasp as much as they can while reading, thus avoiding re-reading. The highlighting issue was definitely a weakness of mine, but I will apply the techniques from the text to curb that problem.…
