Response 7

Berkenkotter Summary
In her article Decisions and Revisions: The planning strategies of a Published Writer, she discusses the different types of writing processes and how they work. She also discusses her writing process.
Murray Summary
In his article Response of a Laboratory Rat-or, Being Protocoled, he talks about his findings in writing and how they affect the way he writes and how he uses them in his writings. This is similar to what we have to do in our next paper.

1. My impression of Murray's writing process is that he is a very organized writer and that he compiles his thoughts together very well, he thinks about his writing process and style in his head. I have a few things in common with Murray's style of writing  I do organize my writing ideas and compile them together to my best abilities but I do not think over my paper in my head before I write them down.
2. Murray's relationship with his audience is a complicated relationship because he writes to a more formal professional audience were to we write to a more informal audience such as our peers and professors. While I am writing I do consider who I am writing to but its not always in the front of my mind when I am writing.
3. Berkenkotter's writing process has changed after reading this writing because she took the ideas from Murray about compiling your ideas in your head before you write and to organize your thoughts before you write it down, also to think about your previous writings to come up with ideas for your future writings.
AEI 1
When I am writing a paper first get a paper assignment I create an outline and how I want to write my paper and the content I put into my paper, after that I start in on my paper pulling in as much research as possible to make my paper the best it can be. My level of writing experience is average I have had to do it all through grade school. My writing level and the time are spend on writing relate similarly to each other.
Meta Moments
I learned that it is important to think about your previous papers to pull forward ideas into your new thoughts for a future paper and also to look back on previous writing styles to pull into your future papers.
Response to Berkenkotter and Murray
Both these articles were very useful for us to take the time to read and will be useful for our papers in the future and to get us to use previous writing styles from the past and to pull them into our future papers.

  1. I interpreted the first discussion question a little differently, I replied by talking about the environment he writes in (in the first paragraph the author discusses what Murray's study looks like) But I do think your response was also pretty valid. Overall, I agree with your Meta Moments and Response.
