The first entry of the class. I discuss a reading that ended up being one of the most important facets of the entire class. Going forward from this reading, the importance of first order vs. second order writing became clear. Understanding how to apply these two types of writing to my project was one of the most beneficial parts of the entire class.

I thought todays reading was super fascinating and eye opening. The excerpt was called “Teaching Two Kinds of Thinking by Teaching Writing” it essentially discussed creative writing vs. critical writing. It further discussed their uses in the writing process and how each style of writing can be of impactful. To me, the conclusion to the paper was the most interesting portion of the whole article. It concluded by stating that there has been an on-going argument about which style of writing is the most effective and important, when in reality, we should respect the place that each method has in the writing process. Rather than these writing methods being enemies, they should be allies, be compliments to one another. The more you have of one, the more you have of the other.
