You can either view reading as seeing straight forward or in all directions sort of speak . That is what “Why Learn to Read Like A Writer” by Mike Bunn teaches the reader. In the text it explains how you can read a piece of literature and absorb the information the piece is laying out or you can absorb the way the piece is laying out the information. You can question the way the writer chooses his way of words, form of media and much more. One piece of advice he shared that stuck with me was “What is the technique the author is using here?”. This stuck with me because it seems useful in determining if the writer is using something I would want to use in my own writing.

Class Meetings & Times: Mondays & Wednesdays, 2-3:40 PM, in Namm 519
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
