A picture can mean a thousand words or however the saying went which I believe is true.

It’s important to “push beyond the factual,” says Dennie Palmer Wolf (1987), but unfortunately “extended stretches of questioning in which the information builds from facts toward insight or complex ideas rarely take place” in many classrooms.
I never thought of it this way I think this is really interesting especially the one where instead of where the characters took place, we can think of even more complex questions like why they never left home. I just thought that was cool for a sec lol.
-
What’s required is a continual focus on creating a classroom that is about thinking rather than just absorbing information.
I agree this is so important. I feel like school is mostly just memorizing and retaining the information until after we are being tested on it if that makes sense. We don't really stop and think much to go deeper into what we are actually learning and absorbing.

The best way to increase your vocabulary, formality, or other skills, habits, and choices that professional writers make, for example, is by reading, and specifically reading in the discipline in which you wish to write.
I agree with this but I don't really do much of it like I used to before. This is probably a sign for me to start reading again.

We have just established that there are multiple ways of thinking, learning, and expressing ourselves.

— whether they are bolded, underlined, or italicized;
I often do this when I'm scanning since these words are relevant to the topic being discussed and it can help broaden your vocabulary if it's unfamiliar to the reader.
-
Introduction, and sometimes even the Conclusion of a text, you may want to skim a paragraph or two to get a sense of the overall language, vocabulary, and the author’s arguments.
I really like skimming so I can get an idea of what it might be about and can understand the author's writing style and ideas.

Continue to stay positive and care for yourself despite during the times we are facing right now.

But some would say, “You cant mix no dialects at work; how would peeps who aint from yo hood understand you?” They say, “You just gotta use standard Eng-lish.” Yet, even folks with good jobs in the corporate world dont follow no standard English.
Wherever someone is from and what their dialect is, it shouldn't matter but unfortunately it's how society works
-
And that’s my exact argument, that we all should know everybody’s dialect, at least as many as we can, and be open to the mix of them in oral and written communication (Young)
I agree we should be open minded to learning about others' dialect.
-
Black English dont make it own-self oppressed. It be negative views about other people usin they own language
Why would it be viewed negatively?
-
But dont nobody’s language, dialect, or style make them “vulnerable to preju-dice.” It’sATTITUDES.
Why does this make them vulnerable to prejudice?
-
Even uni-versity presidents and highly regarded English professors dont always speak and write in the dominant standard, even when they believe they do.

[Page 31, Paragraph 2] "Understand that there are several paths you can take during your college career. What works for some, may not work for you." Everyone works and think differently. You just got to experiment of your own to find out what works best for you.
-
[Page 30, Paragraph 1] "I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, I just knew I wanted out of Connecticut." I can relate to this but in a different way. I don't think I have a passion for something but I just chose to major in Biochemistry because I thought that wold be something I'm good at.

I really like the added survival strategies throughout the article. I'll keep them in mind for sure and learn a thing or two.
-
[Page 27, Paragraph 10] I really like that they did that it really prepares you and teaches you on what college is really about and the expectations you might face.
-
[Page 27, Paragraph 3] "I blamed everyone but myself." As much as I hate to admit it, I believe it was part of my fault why it also happened to me.
-
[Page 27, Paragraph 1-2] "...VanAdams expected more of the same in college. He was wrong. VanAdams did poorly on his first couple of exams and even received a failing grade on his first term paper." I can strongly agree to him, but with high school in my case. It really set me back and I wish I could've done it differently.

What is the most important idea your audience should understand from reading this paragraph or evidence?How does each piece of evidence you state in your paragraph relate to your opinion in your topic sentence?Why did you choose this specific piece textual evidence? How does it support, illustrate, or extend your opinion in your topic sentence?How might you explain the example or connect it to textual evidence further to show the connection between the topic and your opinion in the topic sentence and/or thesis statement?What are some consequences/results/implications/ramifications of the evidence you share with your audience?Why is this evidence important? What does it suggest to you? To your audience?How does this evidence relate to your overall opinion in this paragraph?Is the idea in the topic sentence fully explained? Do you need another sentence or two to elaborate on why you have the opinion you state in the topic sentence?How does this evidence relate to your overall thesis, or other points you make in the paper? Why is this connection worth noting?
This is also helpful to look back on to ask myself when I'm writing.
-
30% evidence and 70% analysis
I really needed this since I am not really good at analyzing and I will need to work on it more. Will keep in mind.

[Page 266, Paragraph 2] "prison enabled me to study far more intensively than I would have if my life had gone differently and I had attended some college." You can learn just about anything anywhere, it's not just restricted to school. I agree how you can learn so much more even if you don't attend college since there are often material not all taught in a classroom.
-
[Page 262-64] interesting how much he has learned by reading books in prison about many events from many different countries and educated himself about them.
-
The entirety of page 261 really shows how fond he is of books based on his reviews and how much he talked about them
-
[Page, 260, Paragraph 6] "how history had been "whitened"" It's frustrating how history taught in history books lack history from POC to the point where there's so much information out there that we don't even know about and the only way you would learn about it is from own research, learning it off the internet, or taking a specific class that dives deeper into those topics.
-
[Page 260, Paragraphs 2-4] Crazy to me the length he went through just to be able to read. It shows how educated and knowledgeable he is.
-
[Page 257, Paragraph 2] "I became increasingly frustrated at not being able to express what I wanted to convey in the letters I wrote..." Really relates to me because I know what it is like since it is hard of others to express their feelings into words.

I later decided I should envision a reader for thestories I would write. And the reader I decided onwas my mother,

Istarted writing nonfiction as a freelancer the weekafter I was told by my boss at the time that writingwas my worst skill and I should hone my talentstovrard account management.

why there arenot more Asian-Americans represented in Amer-ican literature. Why are there few Asian-Americansenrolled in creative writing programs? Why do somany Chinese students go into engineering?
Asians are usually seen in this field because of their parents pushing them into that field. If you take anything outside of medical or engineering, you are seen as a "disgrace."

My mother was standing in the back whisperingloudly,
This relates to me as well I would get irritated I have to do these things and also at the fact that I'll be conversing with her at the same time asking of what to say in loud whispers that could probably be heard on the other side of the call.

Shame. Low estimation of self. In childhood we are told that our language is wrong
It's sad they say this when they are trying to even speak the language then try ing not to speak it at all

Deep in our hearts we believe that being Mexican has nothing to do with which country one lives in
Nothing can define less of who you are no matter where you're from.
-
"If you want to be American, speak 'American.' If you don't like it, go back to Mexico where you belong."
It's funny how ignorant they are and say this when American isn't a language

A monolingual Chicana whose first language is English or Spanish is just as much a Chicana as one who speaks several variants of Spanish. A Chicana from Michigan or Chicago or Detroit is just as much a Chicana as one from the Southwest. Chicano Spanish is as diverse linguistically as it is regionally.
Wherever and. whoever they are, they will never be less of who they are.
-
1. Standard English 2. Working class and slang English 3. Standard Spanish 4. Standard Mexican Spanish 5. North Mexican Spanish dialect 6. Chicano Spanish (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California have regional variations) 7. Tex-Mex 8. Pachuco (called cal6)
I didn't know there were this many variations. That's very interesting to mee.
-
Spanglish, comes most naturally to me. I may switch back and forth from English to Spanish in the same sentence
I can relate to this with my mother tongue. I do it unconsciously and it's also sometimes because I wouldn't know how to say something in one language off the bat if that makes sense.

we also realize that reading on screen is not natural or easy for everybody
I agree with this as well. reading on screen can be different to others and it can be distracting from my own experiences. For example, I have a hard time reading this whole article on screen because I tend to focus on something else.

we also recommend writing notes by hand
Definitely. I learn and retain information better if hey are handwritten.

Alfie Kohn, not surprisingly, is a big opponent of standardized testing practices, and actually all testing in general
I agree with this. I feel that standardized testing is all just a competition now. It doesn't measure someone's intelligence and it's sad how society and schools rely on this in order to determine a person's future.

Mutual trust, honesty, and respect for each other as professionals with negotiated goals. Ifyou feel something is unfair or want to discuss make-up work, let’s talk!
This tells me that you are understanding and and listen and will try to work things out with students if they feel ever feel something is unfair.
