Feelin' better about class the past few weeks. This blog post is late though because of some other reasons. Anyway i'm a bit more interested in the class discussions. At the same time i feel incredible apathy regarding the reading materials, especially with the SRTOL readings. I fail to see the importance of any of the conversations about the subject. The idea that allowing students more freedom regarding the voice they use in classroom writing seems like it would promote their voices and power. However, human communication is so incredibly complex and expansive in it's forms that the SRTOL just comes off as underdeveloped and trivial. But I won't go into that here.
Good stuff, semester's closing soon though.
Yes, I agree the class discussions have been more interesting. The readings for me have been a beet difficult to comprehend however, I do find them interesting.And yes the semester went by so fast, I can't believe its almost over.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, short and straight to the point haha. When I first read SRTOL, I was confused. I had a little bit understanding but not the best to be able to put in discussion and go into depth. As we got the secondary sources the counter arguments they really helped me out and seeing this as a really intense issue. The way many things are structured from school to how you were raised or your culture is crazy. If since the beginning we would of been able to write in our own dialect I don't know how I would be responding to your post. I don't know if I would be writing gibberish, something only I am able to understand, or something that every person in the world can understand and relate to. Who knows.
