Reflection on Audience Awareness

1. Linda Flower stresses the importance of audience awareness in composing while Elbow concludes that the question/issue with audience awareness is when. How would you explain the connections between these two points of view?
Linda Flower she always tells you have to think on the audience for her that’s the best strategy so you can make a good work, and Elbow tell you when exactly you have to think on the audience, sometimes you don’t have to think on them so you don’t go off the topic.


2. In general, what have you learned from Linda Flower’s and Peter Elbow’s article as a writer and as a reader?

From Linda Flower I Learned that when I am writing something I have to think on the audience put me on the shoes of them so I know they are going to understand what I wrote, but with Elbow i learned when exactly I have to think on them, because sometimes If you just think on them you go off topic.

question 2

Q2.You are also expected to have a good understanding about Writer-Based Prose and Reader-Based Prose and the difference between them lies in the use of RhetoricalStrategies. I would like to know how you would differentiate the use of rhetorical strategiesin writing (from reading as above) and what will be your plans to improve your rhetoricalstrategies in writing.

The Writer Bases Prose is when a writer is like being selfish asking himself questions so he can put his own thoughts on the paper and make a good work, but he doesn't ask himself if the reader is going to understand what just he have wrote. The Reader Based Prose is when the writer is asking himself, does the reader is going to understand what i wrote, he put himself on the position of the reader and then he sees what he has to change to the text so everyone can get it.
What i want to improve is try to use always the Reader Based Prose strategy, so the readers who read my paper i would know they are going to understand my paper

question 1

Q1.You are probably aware of the importance of Rhetorical reading thus far. I would like to know how you would evaluate your use of rhetorical reading strategies and whether you will have any plans to improve your rhetorical skills and what are the plans?

Not always i use the rhetorical reading strategies, it depends what i am going to read but when i use it it is very helpful for me because when i read it i go beyond the text i get the main points of what the writer is talking about. I use this strategies when i don't like the topic, what i want to improve is use this strategies in almost all text even if i like the topic and i think i get all what the writer put on the text, this way i would get more information and better understandings in all the text that i read.

question 2

2 . How did you see/evaluate the comments you made on your peers’ papers? Honestly, do you think they were really helpful? (It’s ok that you can say no. If that’s the case, please state what made you unable to provide specific comments as you wished. It’s important for me to know how carefully you read your peers’ papers and how did you work on commenting your friends’ papers).

When i make comments on my peers papers, i try to be very clear about in what he can improve so he can make a better grade on his paper, and i think is very important our comments, because first we have to read carefully his SQR and then we can make our comments about his work so he can understand our points of view of the work he has done, and then with that he can evaluate and make the corrections that we put on our comments and make a better SQR.

1. What were your concerns about in an SQR? What would you like the group to consider, respond to, or evaluate on an SQR of yours?
My concerns about the SQR were first of all, make the summary make sense and cover all the important points about the article that was assigned, and also understand the question so I can make a good and clear response.
When my classmates are evaluating my SQR, I would like them to put how can I improve and make a better work, telling me what they didn’t like or what they didn’t understand about my work, and when I see their points of view about my SQR I would know what to erase so I can make a better SQR.
