Gilmore 3-4

I enjoyed this part of the book as well. This text has helped me in evaluating the way I approach essay writing. I can use the tools and helpful hints provided by Gilmore to not only help my future students, but to help me now. essay writing has always been a sort of hard task for me, with what to write and what my teacher expects. With what I have learned from reading Gilmore, I can now approach writing with a key understanding of simply proving my point well. I know my students can use what I have learned to better their writing and I intend to carry on what I learned from this book to my students. This part of of the text teaches students to increase their understanding of language and its use. I think that if I was introduced to this book long ago I would have been able to write not only more clearly but with a better understanding of just how important the knowledge of language use is to writing.

As discussed i n chapter three, letting others review your work is most effective in gaining a clear assessment of what is written well and different ways to improve it. I always like to have a lot of opinions on my writing and it helps me to improve what may already be good and make it it's best. I think that Gilmore's most effective idea was pointing out the good in other peoples writing, not only does it act as a sample, but also provides hope to who don't feel very confident about their own ability. I also think that the use of technology to is very important. Gilmore refers to it as typing, in one instants. But, what about those students who don't have access to those resources how they familiarizes themselves with using technology? It just makes me wonder how those of us who choose to go into the inner city schools to teach, will provide our students with that kind of knowledge. I aways hope that things get better and more equal but I deep down know its all but impossible.
