Download or read book Identity written by John Scenters-Zapico and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2021-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the United States, we are constantly defining and redefining who we are to each other. As quick as we are to pull ourselves together as "Americans" in times of war or natural disaster, we also incessantly define the other, at times favorably, at other times not so much. We band together as "us" to defend our freedoms and safety from outside threats, yet we also move away from each other and maintain our differences, our uniqueness, our independence. We are a nation of commonalities, differences, natives, immigrants, and visitors. We recognize that our strength is our ability to intelligently negotiate our independence and dependence, and similarities and differences with each other. The negotiation process takes place because we are a nation of readers and writers. We inform ourselves to understand issues important to us, and we then share our thoughts with others, trying to inform or persuade them of what we believe is the correct way to understand or act in a situation. To understand our ever-changing society, the issues important to it, and take stands on issues, we by necessity must read. To get our views out there, we write. In order to read and write well, we must understand rhetorical principles, our roles and identities, and the writing processes that are the foundations of literacy and writing practices. Why learn to read and write, or become more sophisticated readers and writers? Take a moment to think about what we could not do if we could not read or write. Could we shop online? Could we read the text that helps as we play a video game? Could we read or send an e-mail, a text or tweet, or post to our Facebook or Skype accounts? The answer to all of these is, No. Nothing in these environments would make any sense. Imagine trying to make a résumé or write a research paper or lab report. Our world and work possibilities would diminish substantially from how we experience them now. The more schooling we have the better and more varied are our reading and writing skills, and from these refined skills more opportunities exist for us. The processes that we go through to become highly literate are many and complex. Traditional literacies, the abilities to read and write, and digital or electronic literacies, the abilities to communicate and understand using multimodal means, are a vast network of possibilities and challenges that we must learn at increasing levels of sophistication and complexity. Throughout our years in school we will need to advance our critical reading and writing skills through study and practice. Each chapter's title in Identity: A Reader for Writers is a question about our identity, from "What's in a Name? The Role of Language and Identity" to "Where Do You Draw the Line? Privacy, Socializing, and Life without Boundaries." The Second edition of Identity includes three new chapters: Chapters 6 explores readings that help us talk about gender: "Who Decides Gender? Notions of Gender & Identity," Chapter 7 "How Are Your Political Views Formed? Political Identity, Alliance, & Exclusion" helps us find common language among the complexities in identifying and taking political stances, and Chapter 8 "How Can I Become a Better Writer?" guides us to better understand what is involved in transitioning from student writers to experienced writers"--

Download or read book How to Read Like a Writer written by Mike Bunn and published by The Saylor Foundation. This book was released on with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you Read Like a Writer (RLW) you work to identify some of the choices the author made so that you can better understand how such choices might arise in your own writing. The idea is to carefully examine the things you read, looking at the writerly techniques in the text in order to decide if you might want to adopt similar (or the same) techniques in your writing. You are reading to learn about writing. Instead of reading for content or to better understand the ideas in the writing (which you will automatically do to some degree anyway), you are trying to understand how the piece of writing was put together by the author and what you can learn about writing by reading a particular text. As you read in this way, you think about how the choices the author made and the techniques that he/she used are influencing your own responses as a reader. What is it about the way this text is written that makes you feel and respond the way you do?
