“How to Read Like a Writer” – Karen

In the article, Mike Bunn writes ā€œyou are already an authorā€; I believe he means that we ourselves are already writers. We have our own way of writing on certain topics. For example, certain things I write already are assignments, messages, emails, reading, and journaling. There are different ways of analyzing certain texts. There are different expertise that will help in college reading and writing but it will all have to depend on the student. As mentioned in the article you as a person have to decide what you wish to keep and discard/ what will be useful for themselves that they know they can use properly.Ā 

There were certain things that I decided to keep in mind that I had noticed in Bunnā€™s article in which I will like to try in my own writing. One will be asking questions to take more out of the certain thing I might be reading. Usually, for assignments, I go into the reading for specific answers and donā€™t really keep in mind what I wish to have in my own writing. That is something that I will take action in. Something else I will work on is to write ideas on things I would have change/ add if I were the one writing it.

I also will be using all these useful strategies Bunn’s highlighted in this article. I will most definitely read like a writer, take notes when reading, ask myself questions about choices and techniques used by the writer, examine the effect these choices had a me as a reader and incorporate these into my own writing materials.
