Cohesive Writing Matters
Jago #6

"Giving students a total choice of topics has never worked for me. At the same time, straightjacket prompts with little room for individual expression are also deadly" (Jago, 118). Like i had previously stated in my pror blog, revision is key, but the topic and the writing process coincides beautifully with revision. As a teacher I believe making suggestions on what to write about is good, becuase it allows students to become more creative with thier topic because they are excited about thier topic. On the other hand, Jago believes that there still needs to be structure to keep the student on track, which i agree with as well. Students will write to express themselves more so than writing to finish an assignment. I believe the end product would be more satisfying for the student as well as the teacher if the student was actually interested in the topic of choice and was able to express themselves EFFECTIVLY. Effectivly is key, and I will make that clear in my own classroom. Effectivly writing is the main concept in writing. A student will most definitly feel more proud of their work if they know they had put all of their thoughts together and organizing them to come up with a very persuasive piece of literature. Revision, revision, and revison are the most important way to achieve an effectivly organized paper or essay, becasue it cuts out the grammer errors and the feedback from peers and the teacher allows a student to make corrections on organization, resources, and structure.
