Chapter 6:

Lindeman says that students don't feel that hard work alone is going to make them good writers. The chapter goes on to say that it is the teachers responsibility to know the cognitive proccess and help the students along the way. creativity, perception, and conception are the three things that Lindeman touches on in the chapter that a teacher should know and be able to teach their students. She says that these are the things that a teacher should know and then portray this message to the student to make them a better writer. Lindeman also talks about applying Piagets cognative thoeries into the classroom. By applying the these things, Lindeman says that a teacher can create good writers in their classrooms.

Response:

I liked this chapter because it really delt with education by applying some of the educational theories. It was nice to see that Piaget's that are mentioned in other classes are put into our english classes. This chapter also hit a personal nerve. Having a teacher that encourages good writing can be usefull. I had teachers personally who helped me improve my writing and hepled me when i couldn't find anything to write about. Good chapter and i wish more chapters were like this one. For some reason this chapter kept my attention.
