Journal Entry #5

Three Things Learned:
1. Early writing experiences will include students explaining orally what is in a text, whether it is printed or drawn.
2. As they grow, writers still need opportunities to talk about what they are writing about, to rehearse the language of their upcoming texts and run ideas by trusted colleagues before taking the rick of committing words to paper.
3. Writing happens in the midst of a web of relationships.

Two Things I Found Interesting:
1. In workplace and academic settings, writers write because someone in authority tells them to. Therefore, power relationships are built into the writing situation.
2. As basic tools for communicating expand to include modes beyond print alone, "writing" comes to mean more than scratching words with pen and paper.

One Question:
1. How many types of relationships are around writing?
