    1. To practice giving feedback and meta-revision strategies, make an argument for why the chapters in this book should be presented in a different order.Then, reflect: In your opinion, what is the most important chapter or section from this textbook, and why?

      i have no argument for chapters being in different orders, that in its self is opinion.i belive that its good how it is currently, also in my opinion i say the first, the mindset for learning, it creates a starting opinion of embracing your opinion and intrinsic motivation, also it creates that stage and it still represents itself throughout the chapters as you read

    1. another perspective and tips for writing an annotated bibliography

      always enjoy multiple perspectives on a subject, leads to more research and in turn more information

    1. Todd Walker is an amazing Lecturer and Faculty Development Coordinator for the Writing Program of the SFSU English Department.

      even as a colorado student i enjoy that i can read and learn from sfsu peers on this curriculum

    1. So…can I use Wikipedia?

      I personally say yes, if you do more research to back up the opinion your looking for, its not a one size fits all platform

    1. After reading “Why Historical Thinking is NOT about History,” use evidence from the article to discuss why it is important to carefully evaluate the credibility of a source. What could be some consequences of spreading misinformation?

      i would personally express that the consequeces could be herding people into a false sense of security, throough false information. instead of knowing the correct facts you might hand the next person whos genuinly curious down the wrong road, creating a cycle that hurts a lot of people long term, essentually herding sheeps to slaughter or in sams winburgs words "slaves to the machine" in this case the machine being misinformation

    2. Google is a fine place to start, if you’re looking for popular sources. “Popular sources … are written by and intended for a general audience

      so more built on casual research that isnt peer reviewed, makes sense

    1. our own stance or opinion on your question—before you do any research.

      i will always enjoy the concept of "its your own stance" gives the oppertunity for bias and opens that area up

    2. 4. Draft your Inquiry Question using “How,” “Why,” “In what ways,” or “To what extent,” in a way that elicits a conversation in which you will be interested in participating.

      why do people manipulate passion and in what way can it be influenced?

    3. 3. Once you have your issue, consider your stance. What do you think about this issue? What is your initial opinion? This is your working thesis.

      initally i never paid mind to it but after hearing bout real world by tate i did reseach and found out about the criminal sht, also worked in cut co and their whole pyramid model, but i was blind untill i heard clients say "i would but i got no money" i asked my boss he said "sucks to suck" or "i can give a discount" never cared for the person or the model of i have to ask family for refferals, even tho i know they have no money and are struggling, its fucked. thats my stance, also i can say i hate the concept of passion being used for someones gain, unless it helps, like i enjoy interships because you actually see and help within your field or a field to want to learn more of hands on. overall my opinion is a very passion feuled one that used to be taken advantage off and i hope others can find better ways of education or passions as a whole.

    4. 2. Once you have a Topic, narrow that down to an issue. An issue is anything that can be debated from multiple sides. For example, starting with the topic of Capitalism, and narrowing that down to the issue of homelessness in San Francisco.

      i say using peoples passion or money agaist communities, also some colleges do this process by upcharging. twisting the view that "you should go to this school" even tho that school is a online course on how to use a ai to setup a shop, people shell out 100+ dollars just to get screwed long term. so overall i say the twist of passion to be used agaist people such as "free world" by the tate brothers, its become a plaugue of present day education

    5. Start by brainstorming various experiences you can recall related to school, or another large institution. The goal will be to locate your own experiences within larger systems, or be able to relate your own experience to the experiences of others like you.

      on one hand my school carrear is good, they reletivly had no problems, but i can turn to sharks of "mc dojos" that plague genuine martial arts locations

    6. 3. Choose one of these issues to discuss: Why or how would your research of this issue represent an example of “intrinsic motivation” for you?

      through personal time spent with toxic people, made me want to learn what actual connection was which became its own motivation inward to find out what makes a good partner and what i should look for, making a both sides of the coin, knowing whats good and bad.

    7. 2. Why are these issues important to you?

      because relationships in the past were not built on a tinder or facbook dating, also the fact most people are 24/7 on social media their standards are insanly high for 0 reason besides, this popular person said "you need to be built like this" or "you make this much" its created a delusion filled dating scene for everyone

    8. 1. What are some personal experiences you have that relate to larger social issues?

      eh besides bullying, it was the bigger issue of present day relationships being very cheating or lying instead of how it was in the past, also i say the other end of people mooching, from people pleasing and screwing em over

    9. Kohn advocates for an education system that cultivates children’s authentic curiosity at a young age.

      suprisingly wished this process was more in these generations, instead of curiousity put down.

    1. As college students on the threshold of the academic community, many of you probably think that research is about finding answers to a question given to you by your professor. While this may have been true in high school, we would like to propose that a more meaningful research process in college starts somewhere else, i

      seeing that new way of of asking questions, different then the standard that makes up old school traditional process of asking a teacher.

    2. Curiosity, Engagement: Develop your personal interests, passions, and experiences related to larger social issues into open-ended “Inquiry Questions” to guide your entire research process. Connect your ideas to those of other authors.

      being able to create personal enjoyment related to social issues and author makes it easier to remember and infer a wider opinion

  2. Aug 2026
    1. John Dewey (1899/1990, p. 34) described “the old education” as an approach in which “the center of gravity is outside the child. It is in the teacher, the textbook, anywhere and everywhere you please except in the immediate instincts and activities of the child himself.

      sets a very explicit tone that makes the reality shown that old education is a expectation that school isnt set around em and also expectations are from adults who have never even met em

    2. Deep questions help kids to stay curious, grow increasingly resourceful at figuring things out, and become active meaning makers.

      personal preference "i love deeper questions because it gives me the oppertunity to question and look more in depth at the question and my perspective on what it could mean and what the answer could be"

    3. “What was the name of the town in which the characters in this story lived?”

      sometimes questions dont need to be packed neatly and tightly into set boxes

    4. no definitive right answer can be found at all.

      this makes me think as a psy student a sentance that expresses the fact of critical thinking and that sometimes you can have multiple opinons express the same thing

    5. “true” (Wolf, 1987), “essential” (Simon, 2002), “generative” (Perkins, 1992; Perrone, 1998), “guiding” (Traver, 1998), or “fertile” (Harpaz & Lefstein, 2000).

      my first thought that a expressed is with how this person was quoting,when in a different community college they quotedpurely from mla,seeing this different perspective opened my mind to the fgact that it isnt a one track mindframe when it comes to quotes

    1. Andfinally,theyarecertain thatno goodessay everuses the wordI.

      well every time I annotate I'll make sure that I won't apply that same logic in a essay, it'll 90 percent of the time start with I, and never even thought there was a rule or procedures to never even say I, so I will always be confused with this statement but I digress and will actively see if I can minimize saying sentences like "I believe" or "I enjoy" or "as I write this annotations I'll make sure not to add to many "I" points cause it doesn't fit the standardized English and I will strive to not do it through this entire thing cause "I" am not trying to see how many "i's" I can put to show I can show the unlearning process is just taking steps to change the mental pathways

    2. Thesehabitsaresodeeply ingrainedthatacatastrophe of some kind (eitherpsychologicalorphysical)i

      surprisingly I'd say I disagree under the present stance of multiple times I have redefined my own habits such as in martial arts I was more on the defensive side of things always starting on the backfoot but in the present times i can express I've learned what not enough aggression is, also the other end, having too much aggression and finally learning that nice in-between where it can be right in the middle and adaptable, I want to point out you can change stuff about you if you personally dislike them a core of learning is to learn to make changes over the course of writing and overall realizing to take steps will lead to bigger dividends then you believe is possible

    3. How,then,does anyonein anyiscipline learnhow towriteaboutcomplexchallenges?

      my first instinct is to say that its dependent on our stories, personal experiences and what our disciplines are currently.

    4. When students enter our writingclasses,they oftenbringwith themasetof rules from highschoolthatthey usetodefine good writing.

      on both ends was referenced in class and even this teacher in the current college class mentioned about how we have our own experiences that shaped writing

    1. We’ve got our ideas; what are your learning goals as a student??? What are some strategies you will use to accomplish them?

      my learning goals is to keep applying my personal style,i dont wanna cookie cutter my way of learning to fit a standard grade, i personally want to always use my learning style as its my style and i plan to acomplish it by attending classes, aksing about tutoring and emailing my respective teacher about info.

    1. In other words, asking, “What is the due date for this assignment?” when the specific date is clearly printed on the assignment sheet suggests that you did not take the time to read the details to the assignment before asking your question

      use common sense when asking questions before asking your teacher

    2. Take advantage of your professors’ office hours two to three times during the semester to introduce yourself and communicate your interest in the subject, and if you must communicate through email, be sure to follow the conventions of email etiquette.

      being able to communicate in a timly fasion and with the right objectives in mind is important

    3. Queenie could have asked for an extension on any of the assignments and have reasonable excuses for doing so, but she chose not to. To focus and reduce distractions, she made the campus library her study area, spending most of her weekends at the library and never missing an assignment or submitted one late. Even when I offered her extra time to complete her assignments, she kindly refused, holding tightly to her work ethic and explaining that she wanted to be a positive role model for her four younger siblings.

      this is the first time i ever considered the fact that someone dispite a agressive work load still chose to keep onto her ethics

    4. You’re Not in this Alone!

      wish more people would adknowledge this more but specifically in classes, theres to many students who rush or fail classes because it wasnt expressed in thier minds that "you can ask for help to the teachers or if available, get help with tutoring"

    1. Your experiences matter, because who you are as a learner matters. Your identity is shaped by your experiences, which is why in our courses when we begin talking about your academic identity

      personally said it one and ill reiterate, i agree with expressing that personal experience matters

    1. Once students find out that various Englishes are legitimate and valid in the real world, even in the academic community and within scholarly discourse, their perspectives on English changes

      people really enjoy application of what they have learned

    2. We read (and watch) various types of texts, including various TED Talks and other videos.

      personally enjoy when its made clear that you scoped out information from various spots

    3. which will help you thrive in all parts of your life.

      one of my favorite parts of learning is always applicating my knowledge into my tasks, copy paste is not my forte

    4. You have probably heard this term before, because really, it is a foundation for all learning.

      ive seen it applied in everything before education suprisingly

    1. What do you believe your learning style is? If you were to place yourself on the Zone of Appropriate Challenge and Growth, where has the majority of your education taken place as a learner?(

      also i belive i learn best by physically involving with the task, such as writing down information, being active and trying to answer questions that are asked

    2. students can end up in the “Panic Zone,” where learning becomes overwhelming

      never felt in this zone with school but when it came to other avenues like fighting in tournaments or in the fgc i had spots where i didnt know and the peers i asked didnt give me relevent info

    3. In our classrooms, we adapt the ZPD to the Zone of Appropriate Challenge and Growth. When teachers recite a pre-scripted curriculum that doesn’t assess the students’ prior knowledge and appropriate level of challenge, students end up in the center—“the Comfort Zone”—where they are not engaged, they are bored, and they become passively complacent about learning.

      personally i agree with this statment as i got more and more in my online years,learning became routine and i never felt challenged and it felt like a job, wake up,do my classes and then fall asleep

    1. For some of you, we also recommend writing notes by hand. While we value the online format of this text to make the knowledge, strategies, and activities accessible and dynamic, we also realize that reading on screen is not natural or easy for everybody. Even if you don’t want to print out the pages and annotate directly in the margins using a pen or pencil (which is how your authors learned to read in college), an intermediate step may be to take notes in a notebook on the side, write summaries of new information, or draw Mind Maps to organize your own reading and thinking process.

      currently do this also but not for grading or partitipation, i use paper so i can reference my past knowledge and make adjustments with my present annotations i make with the exstention

    2. annotate using hypothes.is to make sense of new information and perspectives, and add that information to your preexisting knowledge, which we call “building your schema,” which then helps you make connections to other texts and your own experiences.

      im personally annotating wiht hypothes because of speed but also annotating with pen and paper for personal use

    1. nternalizing a flexible “growth mindset” where learning happens through sustained, deliberate practice in collaboration with others, all readers and writers grow.

      reminds me of how competitors in my past with martial arts between schools, one of them was traditional that you see everywhere (not noting the school for their privacy) and a local spot in canon city and the more local spot had way higher calibar cause of having groth in mind,in comparision to the bigger school which had a whole paper and would mark and test you for entire sections, causing people to spend longer acheiving higher ranks such as a teen getting a gray belt, or a adult getting a blue belt

    2. Learning must be challenging, and knowing yourself as a learner gives you the power to set your own level of challenge, as well as seek appropriate resources.

      being able to express that its challenging and being able to ask for resources is a nice change some people can ultilize throughout the semester

    3. Everybody learns differently. All students, and teachers, bring different strengths to the classroom, and reading and writing processes should be taught within a “pedagogy of multiliteracies”* to reflect multiple learning styles and create inclusive learning environments. The interactive exercises and approaches in this book are intended to help you find out how you learn best: linguistically, literally, visually, kinesthetically?

      even currently as I or peers in my classes are writing,using there personal opinions and expressions of learning by annotating their own ways with this exstention

    4. deliberative, critical, and “metacognitive” approach

      metacognitive is a newer word for me but i understand use of the word critical in this case cause in psychology its represented by definition as "a active clear calm process"

    5. Why does your experience and opinion matter? In a short answer, because that’s how learning happens best. No matter what your instructor’s philosophy of teaching, if they are using this textbook you can probably assume they agree with us, Kohn and countless others who believe that learning happens constructively, or through a “constructivist approach,” that always has to involve students. Image Source: https://www.freire.org/paulo-friere/ Our constructivist teaching and learning philosophy is influenced by the work of Paulo Freire, who is known as the father of “student-centered” teaching and learning. Freire was an activist and teacher of adult reading in Brazil during a time when workers’ rights were being massively exploited, largely because they were uneducated. Without being able to read, these impoverished workers could not negotiate contracts or learn about how to defend their rights. Freire called this “reading the world,” which is the premise of this text and many of the projects involving student choice in our curricula across SFSU and beyond. In Freire’s critical pedagogy, or radically progressive way of teaching, the curriculum is framed around the students’ worlds, involves their real issues, desires, and needs, and the teacher can learn from the multiple literacies of the students’ worlds even as they teach them more traditional literacies in school.

      being able to approach classes with this bar that gives oppurtunities of personal expression and having pablo freire invovating this way of teaching opens the pathway to follow in his steps

    1. 2 - Average, I did fine but just went through the motions

      i give a 2 because i cant give a 0 because i attended online school and fast paced my own knowledge, never had a need nor want to sit for a hour and be told about my curriculum that either i aleady did that section a week ago or already finished the class

    2. and giving you a chance to contribute back to the text in our first Discussion Forum.

      another case of giving oppertunities to have collaborations with peers to get feedback aand give critiques and to take in feedback/critques creating a space of community

    3. best “zones” for learning, we have narrowed our discussion to theories of adult learning that have been proven to work best actively and collaboratively. This is called constructivist learning, where the knowledge in the classroom is constructed from below (which requires that students are collaborating with teachers)—as opposed to knowledge or information delivered from the top (where teachers deliver a lecture)

      as someone whos personally in psychology i can express both sides of this on one end collaberation is good with some students where investing activly does work with them but i can also express that on the other flipside of the coin which is some students prefer the traditional way of teachers delivering lectures,furthermore some students personally want to stay in the back and focus without having the feel of collaberation, overall my 2 cents is that as much as I can express my enjoyment,its not always not that case for others

    1. they relate to your own experience. In fact, one premise of this book is that all meaningful reading and writing is personally motivated in some way: motivated by your connections, motivated by your passions and interests as students. And although your college journey will come to an end in four, five, or six years, we hope that the lessons, practices, and habits that you will learn and practice through this interactive textbook will transfer to many courses, and beyond to many life situations in your career and elsewhere. We would like to start this journey by first preparing you with the mindsets that will empower you to grow and learn through various college situations that you will encounter.

      something i personally catch is in this writing "you" "your" this sets the stance of its helping specifically you, invest in your style. reminds me how it was with the first class with the kendrick lamar quote on him showing himself through his personal name

    1. objectives and future chapters rely on activness which i can personally enjoy, but also being able to shape and mold based on personal learning processes is something not all places had in the pasts
