Double Journal Entry #5: Teaching Writing

(Link to the article is here)
Three Things Learned: 1. For some reason I had not figured out that children wrote in brief sentences because they were still figuring out the process of writing thoughts on paper. I do now, I suppose.
2. I did not know that it was The National Council of Teachers encouraging teachers to teach with a lot more technology.
3. The National Council of teachers is an organization that carefully talks about accents. They claim that they must widen every child's knowledge with standard English and talk with them about what way of speaking is appropriate for what setting. I've never heard this kind of strategy before.
Two Things I Found Interesting:1. This article talks about internet writers, which I find fascinating because writing on the internet used to be a source for teasing in the schools I attended. Writing stories or posting art online used to be outside the norm.
2. I am happy that this article mentions that visual illustrations are an important part of writing.I certainly depend a little on visual media to capture my attention so I read something. I can't seem to listen to the phrase that you cannot judge a book by its cover.
One Question about the Reading:
1. What I really want to ask is if The National Council of Teachers have an article about art, but I shall ask what are the statistics behind some of their methods? Edit: The NCTE does have several articles, one called Art as Literacy caught my eye, but I have to be a website member to view it. I'm trying to find it somewhere else now.

Well, for one I think the assigned reading proves this article (link is here) wrong in some ways. Writers have a tough time relating to their diverse audience, especially online. This does not allow you to make as much money as everyone wishes they could unless they have a steady job somewhere. It is funny that the advice the site gives is to put pictures into writing as much as possible like the assigned reading stated.Comments are welcome to prove me wrong on these points, because I am not confident I know a lot about this subject.
