CLASS# 2 - Metacognitive Reflection on Writers and Writing are a must

    When deciding the topic of my writing, I could not put ideas together. I had too many quantity of topics that it was difficult to choose one or the other, since any of them were absolutely innovative or inspirational to keep on writing.

    Some of them were about social issues, like the development of language through the time; others were about technology and its impact on the writing process; others about why children should read and write.

That is why, after writing lots of paragraphs about completely different think I realized I was at a lost. The more I wanted to choose a topic, the less viewpoints helped me to develop it. I really could not do anything in class.

    In the light of the information collected about the writing process, I realized that I has not taken into account: firstly, the audience, who was I writing to?. Secondly, the general steps, like topic sentence and its developers. Now, it is easier to see the reasons why I was so confused; it would have been useful to have these things in mind at the moment of writing.

CLASS #2 - WRITING AND WRITERS ARE A MUST

                                                 

Since initial stages of the humankind, writing has printed a mark on men´s development and has helped scholars to understand how the human being has evolved through the time. Former inhabitants of the world built up their  way of communicating in the written form, hieroglyphics for example,  that is still prevalent in the language we use today, evidently modified; it has given scientists a clue on the way of living these people had, their customs and beliefs, apart from evaluating the impact of these on the modern culture.

      The written language, in the form of letters, drawings or symbols, creates one of the channels for communication and it helps to express one´s feelings and opinions, being aware that this message will prevail. We all want to leave a mark in the world, we want others to know that we exist and that there is something we would like to communicate. Some people expresses themselves  through actions, others through words. Writers have the ability to create a world in our mind, to make us believe in our own thoughts and imagination. However, writing a book and publishing it does not mean you are a writer; a child, and elder or a housewife could be writers as well.

     The goal is to have the intention to write and believe that you can do it as well as a learned person; think of your message and how it might help someone in their beliefs, feelings, or way of living.
