Using the reading attached and, you will develop what is often referred to as a "theory of writing." A "theory" can be a system of explanation, a particular way of thinking that helps explain a phenomenon in the world. As we have been working to understand how writing works: what the major conventions are, where they come from, and how to see and understand them. Instructions: Re?ect on your development as a reader and a writer and explain how your learning has led you to a particular theory of writing. (For instance, what do you now know about writing, how might you approach writing assignments or tasks in the future based on this knowledge) Your theory of writing should be informed by how you read and write, and by the re?ections, you have done in class. It should also suggest how your prior experiences with writing and your current understanding of writing will prepare you for successful engagement with future writing tasks. -inc|ude a thesis that makes a claim about what you understand the act of writing to be and your essay should be organized in such a way that a reader can follow your thinking and reasoning from paragraph to paragraph and within each paragraph. - support your claims about writing with speci?c and concrete references to your own work (journals, essays, etc) and the reading attached. Quote yourself directly when appropriate and quote your chosen reading when it makes sense to do so. Your job is to synthesize your own words about writing and someone else's words about writing to generate an understanding of how writing works and how you yourself write.
