Memorandum Reflection

The memorandum was an interesting assignment, I felt like I was summarizing all of the articles that I read. However, I learned a lot by reading and rereading and then trying to put my findings into my own words. I really liked the idea of encouraging a lot of outside reading with students of all ages. Literacy in reading is extremely important and I understand how it can impact literacy in writing. I love to read and after this assignment I can see why I also like to write. I believe that reading a lot helps students develop more vocabulary and they learn how to use it in proper context. Another point I really liked was that writing should take place as often as possible, it made me think of our blogs. Even though they are not papers or essays they keep us thinking, writing and expressing!
