There are two quotes in Chapter 9 that I would like you to think about and to which I would like you to respond. Be prepared to discuss these quotes in today's class. Those quotes are:
1. "Sometimes reading and writing are taught in classrooms as if they bear little relationship to each other. The result has often been to sever the powerful bonds for meaning-making that exist between reading and writing."
2. "Writing activates learning by helping students to explore, clarify, and think deeply about the ideas and concepts they encounter in reading."
Can you think of writing assignment that, from you own experience, enhanced meaning-making? Be prepared to list those assignments and discuss them in class.
