 Week 3 -- Hi Folks, This week's question delves into the very bedrock of this class.
Please pay careful attention to your own voice when trying to answer this query.JT2 -- Style and authentic voice are two terms that are sometimes used interchangeably when discussing higher level writing skills. What do you think these terms mean? (By all means use a dictionary, query friends, look them up.) Are they different? Is it necessary to have authentic voice or to attend to style when writing? If so, when? If not, why not? I anticipate the interesting, well-thought out responses this question should generate. Jan (Oh, by the by, feel free to offer suggestions about questions you would like us to address in these small, safe writing assignments that we do here each week.) |
JT 3 --After reading the
article about Levels of Abstraction and the ideas presented, i.e.,
that very few people ever attain the lofty heights of
abstract thinking, do an informal experiment. Randomly
choose ten (10) people and evaluate whether they are concrete
thinkers or formal operators. You will need to talk to them
to find the truth. Be on the lookout for people who are very
solid in their opinions, and for those who seem to weigh each
idea, balancing opinions. After engaging in this ethnographical
research, tell us your results-- three to four paragraphs would
not be a stretch.
