As we have seen in class, summarizing is a tricky thing. Because we are human beings with different experiences and different perceptions, our stories of what happened can be very different, even if we all witnessed the same thing in the same place at the same time.Granted... it is a lot trickier when asking different people to summarize an artistic piece like we did in class. But this can still be true for other kinds of text. We have very important decisions to make about what is important and what is not. And for that reason, we are quite powerful in shaping the minds of our readers about what is important and what is not.
For this first journal blog, let's look at our course book. You have been assigned to a chapter from the book by Adair. Because this course will focus a lot on how to think and write creatively (and thereby interestingly), please help us and summarize the key ideas from your chapter. Use your own words, and use your own minds to determine what is key for all of us to know.
Please don't write more than a 100-word paragraph.
Remember to include your ID# in your post, and I will record your participation. Aj. M
