Question

Write a substantial paragraph or two, with a topic sentence or mini-thesis, through which you respond to the students in this video as you form your own approaches to publishing your writing with pride and purpose. You might begin by identifying the moments that stand out to you the most. Which student videos seem to make the most sense to you? With whom do you agree? Disagree? What patterns do you find among the student sound bites? Which ideas were the most instructive or helpful to you? What surprised you? How have your own ideas about formatting and ‘publishing’ come into focus through the videos?

Chatiana tells us that, “Format is a good way to show how much you care about the paper. If you care about the paper you want people to know: ‘I wrote this and this is my feeling toward it, so I’m going to have a good format for it.’ That’s format for me.” There are a lot of approaches to formatting your final, publishing-quality work. If you are motivated by how much you care about your work, however, you will be on the right track.
