Reading for writing

Read to write

“You have reached the end of the course, thank you very much for joining me. I hope you enjoyed the course as much as I did. Throughout our journey together I shared with you the tools necessary to strengthen the skills and knowledge that will help you perfect your writing process. Before I say goodbye, I would like to show you an example of what I would like to see from your project process: Getting started Choose the type or form of blog you want to develop. In the course you have already seen some examples, choose the one that best suits what you want to develop. Then prepare the materials (the type of log, pens, colors, flags, and the book or text with which you are going to interact) to make your reading journal. Read! Start your careful reading. Underline important ideas and phrases you like.

The sections Take your log and divide it into the sections seen in the course. The log Mark the phrases in your notebook that mark you in the defined section. Fill in the space with the book's data (author, title, rating, summary of the story, and reflections on why this book was relevant). Remember that conscious and critical reading allows you to understand how to develop a better communicative impact, learn to analyze communicative resources and tools (analogies, examples, anecdotes, power phrases, stories); appreciate the melody, the poetics of the words, but above all, learn to involve your heart in your readings. As a result, the methodology will allow the reading habit to have a direct impact on more attractive, eloquent and effective writing. The world of reading and writing can be truly fascinating and although it may seem like we are alone on the path, in reality there is an entire community to share with. Therefore, I ask that when your project is ready, share it by clicking on "Create your project" so that we can all see what you have created. I will give you feedback as soon as possible, but I ask you to be patient, as it may take me a while to respond. While you wait, I ask you to respectfully exchange ideas with the rest of your classmates. Other perspectives can be of great help to you. See you soon!”
