There’s an excellent post on Jerz’s Literacy Log regarding a student’s honest fears regarding learning how to dig deeper into literature as one reads. I do hope that he continues his thoughts on this, because I know it was personally something I faced in entering higher education, and I admire the student who was brave enough to ask the question of what was expected of him.

WRITING
literature and experience
So the new semester begins. Literature, writing, and more writing. Why all this writing? Is this some sort of joke? Do modern people fear the blank page so much? This year I知 going to be trying something new, having students…
I will like to say that I love writing, but I love unstructure writing. I love to write the way I think and I find Literature to be somehow the same. I love the poetry. I am trying to understand this class and the online procedures because all these is new to me.
Maria, I may be wrong, but I believe that the best unstructured writing is in truth, perfectly planned by the mind’s knowledge and experience.
