Journal 9/4
After reading Spaces for Writing, I instantly thought of an analogy of writing and a game of chess. Like chess, when writing a paper you need to plan out your every move so that it all comes together. You need to think of every angle and every topic you are going to discuss. This analogy got backed up even more when the topic of facing different challenges took place. It’s true, each writer faces a different challenge with every discussion/paper they develop. These challenges can range from transitions to spacing.
The other discussion that stood out to be was the topic of Visual Literacy. My favorite part about this was the authors integration of their own visual literacy; the mapping out of the steps of writing, the different colors and emphasis on words, and the “discussions” of the individuals on the page. I understand now the importance and impact visual literacy can have on a discussion.
In my post, i used the modes Visual and Spatial. For Visual, I chose the writing gif and chess gif to emphasize the analogy of writing and chess. For Spatial, I separated my topics with gifs to differentiate each topic.
