RE: #1 Discussion questions for “What Happens when Basic Writers come to College?” by Patricia Bizzell

1) What sort of benefits could there be to drafting your papers with your own world view leading your thought processes?


If you draft your paper with your own world view the writing in the paper will express more of your ideals and and personality.


2) To what extent is she right, and to what extent can you argue that students can keep their original world views intact during and after education, sort of “play both fields”?


She is correct to some extent. She is saying that once you weigh the academic world view against your world view that you will " give allegiance" to the academic world view as a result. I think that even if you compare the two world views that you should be able to still keep your world view while still understanding the academic world view.

  1. 1.) I agree with you on this. If you draft your own papers, you get to explore your creativity, and people your own age who read this will appreciate it.

    2.) I disagreed with her in a lot of ways. I think that if you make sure to keep both worlds apart from each other, neither world will have to suffer. In other words, if you keep your personal world apart from your educational world, your life will be fine. At times both worlds may conflict, but it's nothing you can't take control over.

  2. I agree with both of your answers because it is important that we write in a way that gets the attention of our generation.
    I also think that it is completely possible to keep your own world view different from your academic world view. We all do it daily and probably don't even notice it.

  3. 1. Cool not only that, it actually help you write and organize easier too.

    2. It might not be wrong to keep both views, it can actually be positive,your perspective on view might broaden even more.
