jaimie k's reflection to fox ch. 6...

I really enjoyed the format of this chapter. I like how Fox used a story to express her ideas on writing. It’s like she said, you must practice what you preach.

This chapter was really just a summary of some of the ideas Fox stated in earlier chapters. She mentioned a lot of these things in chapters one and two. I guess she’s just trying to emphasize her opinions and reinforce why she thinks they’re so vital to the teaching and learning of writing.

There are two “items” which she always mentions that seem to be essential. Reality and Rejoicing in Choices. I see now how important they are. But, are they easier said than done? Are they easy to execute? Questions that can only be answered if we chose to use them in our own teachings.

I really like how she chooses to explain her ideas; for instance, using stories. I think that’s a great idea. It really does make everything seem more intimate when you share personal stories and life experiences. It creates a connection between you and whoever’s your audience. I think people will listen more because they might be drawn in or it gets them more interested.
