Reading and writing.

From reading the text of the introduction of Ann Ramies I really did understand where she was coming from when she was saying to reread details, and get to know some basic understandings. I have heard the same thing for years ever since I was able to write. Myself, as a student, has always struggled with understanding what the writer is trying to say, comprehension can be tough sometimes if you do not understand words or definitions in the text that you are reading. I really do like how she wrote out the definitions and made note of what she did not understand on the side of her margins. Since I have entered college the past year I have tried to come up with some of my own strategies on how to understand the texts that I am required to read for class but sometimes it is hard to follow if you are not interested in what you are reading. Only thing I wish Ann Ramies did in her writing was to come up with strategies on how to keep students focused on what they are reading. I think that is number one problem a majority of students have these days is the patience to focus and understand the materials we are permitted to understand.

I feel like Writing is such a process and you cannot be a good writer unless you are a good reader and know words and definitions and can know how to get a point across. So basically if you know how to read and understand concepts and such, then you will know how to be a more effective writer

    Sometimes printing out the article can help. That will at least keep you from surfing the web : )
