I thought Chapter 2 was very interesting and in my opinion very influential in the teaching realm today. The Internet is such an important tool in today's society as well as in the classroom. In this class even, we are using "new literacies" by blogging, sharing our ideas over the Internet, and reading other people's ideas. I think that Internet projects are such great ideas to get kids involved in technology. It is also great for student's to know how to evaluate websites and understand what websites are accurate or not.
Chapter 5 was a short chapter that talked about different types of public writing. There was substantial, planned, authoritative, conventional, composed, edited, and graded. I think the important thing about these kinds of writing was that they should be written to a certain type of audience and must be edited more than once. This chapter also addressed plagiarism, which is a very serious subject and should not be taken lightly. I think that it needs to be spelled out to students what is right and what is wrong so they know fully what will not be accepted.
