January 25th homework

Summary
In her article "Decision and Revisions: The Planning Strategies of a Publishing Writer", Berkenkotter does research on Donald Murray and has him record and write down everything he does while he is writing. She discovers the many different things that he thinks while writing and the thought processes he goes through.
QD
1. I thought that he was very good about his process of writing and has everything together while writing and I feel that I do not have that same ability while I am writing.
2. Murray didn't realize how much he relates to his audience while writing until after the study, I think that I think about the purpose of the paper and what needs to be in it more than I think about the audience.
3. That the writer moves back and fourth between different steps of the writing process while writing.
AE
1. When I am writing I spend it finding ideas to help me with what I am saying then writing and stopping to do research while I write then edit and revise. I don't have a lot of writing experience which is why it may take me longer to figure out how to put my writing together.
MM
I learned about planning and revising and a more effective way of doing it with writing and this can help me when I have to write to try and incorporate it into my writing.
Summary
I thought that this was interesting because she explained how she did the study and shared examples of what he thought while writing with us. This will be helpful to me because it gives me a new way to go about my writing and a new process to follow. This ideas were different from my experiences while writing.
