Freewriting Dialogue

A freewrite is a pretty much time you spend just writing down whatever might be in your head, name says it all. This is great because not only go you get to write down whatever you will not be graded on it or get feedback. This way you do not have to worry about what you are writing down. With you writing down whatever might be in your head it helps clear your mind of "garbage". This could be very helpful when starting a paper or essay to clear one's mind. I know this will help me write because I'm always thinking about other things when I need to be focus on writing. Like now I'm think about my tournament this Saturday when my focus should be here. Now for the reading I found very funny and insightful.

The reading had great points and names for freewrtie, my favorite being a "babbling" exercise. This is a great way to explain a freewrite as this is exactly what I did in my freewrite. The best thing about how a freewrite is it's graded or really read by anyone else. This makes it much easier to babble and my mistakes will still helping you learn to write and remembering all the keys on the keyboard (being a while since I had to type this long).

Writing Topic: Rules for Writers chapter 46

First and foremost Rules for Writers is a great book and wished I had this back in High School. It's leaps and bounds better than my old english books. With being a visual and hands on learner this book helps me understand concepts learned in High School I didn't quite get when the teacher would explain orally. Helpful tools I will be using in the future are guidelines for active reading, writing a summary, and analyzing text. I always had the basics down for summaries and analyzing texts, but no teacher ever gave me guidelines to help clarify my questions I had once home. These new guidelines for me two use will help me become a better writer because I will understand more of any text I read no matter how dense. Now onto the main points of chapter 46.

Active reading is a great way to help you understand any text you might read. Active reading helps break down dense texts to tiny parts that are easily read and understand, but also with easy read helps you find and condense main points made. Active reading is a skill useful for reading text, then helping you summarize, and analyzing if need be. Active reading is the foundation to creating your papers and understanding the very dense scientific articles.

Another main point is learning how to start your paper. This is always something I have trouble with getting started on my paper. If I can summarize points/information and then analyze those points/information, it will become much easier to get started on my papers. This will help me with my outline when starting a new paper this year.

Week 1 Introduction

My name is Haruki Yee and I'm 19 years old. Things you should know about me is I'm a marital arts instructor in Terra Linda and terrible at writing as you will soon find out. As for my educational goals is to find out if I should continue teaching martial arts and turn it into a life long job or go into a science major. This question is sorta the reason for taking this class with it being online I only to be in a classroom two days a week (Very Nice).
As for the best way for me to learn it would be a blend of visual and kinesthetic learning. For the type of student I am it would be a last second type. Doing my school work and homework usually gets done a day or two before due date. So if I pace or do work early that would be a big NO, something I hope to change this semester.
