The Link

I liked Emig's message about the connection between writing and learning. I never had to study for a test in HS, and it was a shock to me to have to learn how to for college (after my parents almost yanked me out for a ahhh...less then stellar first semester). I found that the method that worked best for me was rewriting my notes, and information from the texts. I would do it over and over again. Emig's exploration about enactive, iconic and symbolic learning (10) clarifies why this was effective for me. I love the concept of writng using the whole brain. Although, I am not certain where compostition comes into play with this article, and am looking forward to discussing it in class.
