Downs and Wardle go out of their way to explain what good writing is. But this group, in my 8:45 class, decided to take a different approach and explain what "bad writing" is using all four articles so far this semester. It IS a vicious cycle, isn't it?
I think this group did a great job, too. They depicted the "writing rules" on a scroll, with "reading" and "writing" under the whip. Downs and Wardle suggest escaping from the writing rules, which is why they're, happy? I asked them why Flower was under the whip, and one member responded that rhetorical reading felt like it was rule based, too. What do you all think?
I liked this one, too. It shows how the writing rules are the cause of writer's block (and he's a Rose!), and how Downs and Wardle's approach would be a possible way to dispel it. This was from my 9:45 course.
Anyway, there were many more great examples of this, but I think these three were particularly informative examples. Let's keep thinking about conceptions of these articles, how they're related in discourse, and how we can join in on the conversation.
Great work, everyone!
Feel free to comment on the pictures below (or complain about why your depiction was so much better and should have been posted :-p)
Thanks to Gloria and Alan for sending me these pictures!
