Bunn Assignment

In Mike Bunn’s article, he is explaining what it means to read like a writer. In his writing, he is explaining to us that we are already an author. I think in my opinion what he meant by this is that the article states, “You have a built-in advantage when reading like a writer. All of your previous writing experiences inside the classroom and out can contribute to your success with RLW.” What he’s trying to convey is that we already have some advantages when it comes to writing or becoming an author, since in school they taught us a thing or two about reading and writing. The things that I write about or when I have to are when I’m taking notes in school or when doing homework or assignments etc. I think it would help in my college reading and writing career when I have to apply for a job or when I have to formal versus informal.

In Bunn’s article, what I’ve noticed in particular that I want to try in my writing is “What should you be writing as you are reading” on page 81. Bunn explains a few of his methods of what he does when he does this. On page 81 it states, “One thing that I like to do is highlight and underline the passage in the text itself, and then try to answer the following three questions on my notepad: ‘What is the technique the author is using here? Is this technique effective? What would be the advantages and disadvantages if I tried this same technique in my writing?'” I want to try this out because it seems helpful when you’re researching something in particular or something specific. In conclusion, overall Bunn’s article has some very key pointers we should all pay attention to and use when we are reading and writing.
