They Say I Say Ch 6

A debate that I last remember that I had in high school was about exercise. Regular exercise is essential for maintaining good physical and mental health.

Exercise is not necessary for good health. People can be healthy without exercising.

While it is true that people can be healthy without exercising, regular physical activity has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including reducing the risk of chronic diseases, improving cardiovascular health, and enhancing mental well-being. Incorporating exercise into our lives can lead to a higher quality of life and overall better health outcomes.

A Few of Your Favorite Things - Blog Entry 

To be honest, I'm not expert in much, but I believe it would be soccer, Mexican holidays, or K-pop. If I had to lecture for an hour on a topic maybe it would be Mexican holidays since I know the different type of holidays and some of the food they have with it. I believe this would be one of the topic I would take about since it part of my lives.

They Say I Say Chapter 9

Orginial: In these examples, Smitherman blends the types of terms we expect in scholarly writing like “oral tradition” and “fundamental vehicle” with Black vernacular phrases like “gittin ovah.” She even blends the standard English spelling of words with African American English variants like “dem” and “ovah” in a way that evokes how some speakers of African American English sound. Some might object to these unconventional practices, but this is precisely Smitherman’s point: that our habitual language practices need to be opened up, and that the number of participants in the academic conversation needs to be expanded.

Informal version: In these examples, Smitherman mixes fancy words like "oral tradition" and "fundamental vehicle" with cool phrases like "gittin ovah." She even uses different spellings like "dem" and "ovah" to sound like how some people talk. Some folks might not like it, but that's exactly what Smitherman wants: to shake things up and include more people in academic conversation.

Formal version: In these examples, Smitherman combines scholarly terms such as "oral tradition" and "fundamental vehicle" with Black vernacular expressions like "gittin ovah." She even incorporates African American English variants, like "dem" and "ovah," to capture the phonetic qualities of certain speakers. While some may raise objections to these unconventional practices, Smitherman's intention is to challenge established language norms and promote inclusivity within the academic discourse.

Blended version: In these examples, Smitherman skillfully intertwines scholarly language, such as "oral tradition" and "fundamental vehicle," with the vibrant phrases of Black vernacular, like "gittin ovah." Additionally, she artfully incorporates African American English variants, such as "dem" and "ovah," to authentically capture the cadence and sound of specific speakers. Although some individuals may express reservations about these unorthodox practices, Smitherman's underlying message is to disrupt conventional language patterns and foster a more inclusive academic dialogue.

1. Look at the short passages below. Right now, it’s unclear who is saying what. Use the templates from this chapter to revise these passages so they include voice markers that allow a reader to distinguish between the two voices.

A. People argue that drilling deeply might affect natural gas. However, they overlook what I consider an important point, that a cost-effective way to access the reserves of natural gas.

Writing Process Reflection

1. Brainstorm about the actual topic: Why did you pick your topic? Why it is important to you? What have you learned so far? What do you still want to research? What do you find the most interesting about your topic?

I pick the movie "The Sandlot" because it nice to go back to the old days and it was something the keep me entertain. It important to me because there was challenges in the movie that the children had to face and how they were able to become a family. I learned that this movie could be genre as an drama, comedy, sport, or even a comedy drama. I still need to research evidence that I could use for my essay and how to organize my work. What I find interesting about my topic is that I could be able to watch the movie again.

2. Reflect on your writing process this far: What has been difficult about writing or brainstorming? What has come easy? Why? What are you doing differently with your writing and assignments than you did in high school/ previous English courses? What is different about college work? What do you need to focus on doing next for this project? Finally, write down an actual plan/schedule for the next steps of your essay.

The difficult about writing or brainstorming was thinking about which of the two options should I go with. Something that was easy for me was to discussion it with my roommate because I keep thinking about it and kind of stress myself with but when I ask her and discussion with her it came easy to think what to write about. The different thing with my writing and assignment than I did in high school was using something else for my evidence like trying to find something like using a movie for it. The difference between college now is to discussion it with a partner since it sometime more of working alone. I need to focus on doing next for this project is creating list to know what am going to include in my essay. Looking up for evidence and see what details I need to add or other important thing I need to add, also visiting the writing center.
