Chapter 5
If you choose to do so, please post about the chapter here.
These optional posts are a way to participate if you feel less inclined to do so in class. Each post should be no less than 200 words and should reflect some sort of critical thought about the chapter, expanding on the ideas presented in the text, as opposed to simply summarizing various points.

In this chapter we learn about the different tools a writer can use in a classroom and why they used them. Tools for writing, such as the works cited and research paper that the textbook references, help us to learn how to express our own thoughts onto paper. Although the teacher’s assignment might be the reason that we start writing, the student often guides their writing using their own interests and beliefs if they feel confident in themselves and their writing. To prompt this kind of confidence of course adequate experience through writing for various people will be required. This will prompt the reader to feel comfortable expressing his or her own beliefs on to the paper. This helps to produce a diversity of thought that can inspire new ideas or different perspectives that can help people learn more about the world or cause higher level thinking. For instance, deeper meaning found in poetry often has multiple interpretations, sometimes this might be on purpose; however, normally we as readers must interpret the important parts that will lead to the correct interpretation. Finding the correct interpretation might not always produce an exact answer, but it encourages critical thinking that helps to further human knowledge about the world, and this is always a good thing.
