Same goes for this quote without writing, reading, or thinking were not going to get anywhere. We Need all these in order to be a better writer or reader in the future.

  5. The quote above is telling us that Reading, Writing, and Thinking work together and that for you to be able to do one, you must be able to do the other. In other terms its like to speak a language, you need to understand the language, then when you can understand it, you can speak it and the more you speak and listen, the better you can communicate and interpret.

  6. You to do things that may be the key to improving on or learning something else! By reading, you grasp the ability to write and vice versa. As these two mix together, you may find something interesting such as improving the ability to think! It's like how you may make mistakes but you learn from them and so you can improve yourself from making that mistake again.

  10. This quote shows that reading and writing are both equally important, and when you improve in one, you improve in the other. They both go hand in hand. I thought the essay brain stretchers were a good way to end the last day of the semester. It's nice hearing people's ideas. Our classmates can be very creative.

  11. I couldn't agree more on the picture above. The quote shows that reading and writing is part of our every day lives. Although some people have mastered this, there is still room for improvement. Today's class was very short but very interesting! I had a picture of a rattlesnake and shared my part on it. Everyone else's presentation was interesting as well.

  12. The quote is simply stating that both, reading and writing, are very important skills that we should accomplish. To read more effectively, we must improve on our writing skills and vice versa. The brain stretcher was fun, it's cool how I never seem to see the same pictures over and over again.
